Released in 2022, Harmonious embodies balance—melding boozy-spicy citrus with a refined powdery floral heart and a warm, cozy base. It opens with an uptick of bergamot, rum, cognac, and spices like cardamom, cinnamon, saffron, alongside a subtly textured ambrette musk (Boadicea the Victorious, La Maison Du Parfum). The heart unfolds into elegant May rose, orris root, Kashmir wood, and a pinch of coriander (Rich and Luxe). Finally, the base embraces you with leather, suede, vanilla, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, amber, and musk, yielding a creamy, sensual dry-down .
