Fragrance Family:

Amber spicy

Scent Type:

Spicy, intense

Notes:

Opium cologne enters with sharp star anise paired with juicy black currant, creating a fresh entrance. As the fragrance develops, the rich, tropical galangal reveals itself to add warmth. The spicy Szechwan pepper base notes, creamy vanilla, cedar and Tolu balsam round out the cologne for a deep, balanced finish.

Suggested Use

For long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.
