The Los Angeles Story
“With this fragrance I wanted to evoke a sultry, shimmering Hollywood. Homes hanging on to the dry earth hillsides, eucalyptus and clary sage, a breeze from the Pacific Ocean.
I wanted to conjure up the whoosh of cars. Hot tarmac under the Californian sun, the rubber of limousine wheels cruising along Sunset Blvd. Red tail lights. Fruit smoothies and post-gym selfies. Tiki bars and pineapple cocktails. Neon lights. Pink sunsets. Dry ice and disco lights.”
Top Notes: Opening with Airy and aromatic notes of eucalyptus, clary sage, mandarin and pineapple
Heart Notes: A floral heart with an absolute of narcissus and tuberose – a nod to the Mexican flavour of this city
Base Notes: A shimmering smoky woody base with cade, guaiac wood, nagarmotha / cypriol, musks and heliotrope
