ROUGE SMOKING

You strike the match before you've even decided to smoke, cherry and pink pepper catch first, sweet and sharp, curling upward like the first exhale of something you weren't supposed to want.

Cherry opens sweet and slightly boozy, laced with a snap of pink pepper and a whisper of bergamot that keeps the fruit from tipping into dessert. As it settles, black vanilla husk and heliotrope pull the scent into something warmer, almost powdery, while orange blossom adds a petal-soft brightness that lingers underneath. By the drydown, tonka bean and cashmere wood take over with a hush of white musk, ambroxan and labdanum lending a smoky, skin-warm undertone, violet trailing behind like the last drag of a cigarette in a dim room.

This is for the ones who wear red lipstick to dinner and mean it, a fall or winter signature built for candlelit tables and low-lit conversations, equally at home in a boardroom at noon or a bar at midnight.

Wears with quiet confidence, a soft projection giving way to 6-8 hours of warmth. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum, 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on anniversary evenings, weekend escapes, and any room you want to own quietly. Made for our Fall selection.
