The scent story

A late night in the city, lights blurring past the window. Pink pepper, orange blossom and pear give a quick, bright start. Then coffee arrives, dark and roasted, softened by jasmine and a trace of bitter almond. Vanilla, patchouli and cedar wrap it all in a warm base, an oriental vanilla scent made for evenings out.
