Brave. Instinctive. Heralded by black fruits, the dark heart of salty licorice, intense violet and purple rose, triumphs with the optimism of tonka beans awash with ink. The teller of tales.

Strong Sandalwood
Holy smokes, the sandalwood is prominent in this perfume! I bought a sample size based on another review and I am glad for it. The opening notes of dark fruits are very brief on me and get absolutely obliterated by the sandalwood. After a few minutes of dry-down, the violet breaks through and the sandalwood gradually retreats into co-existence with the fruit and floral notes. Over time, the sandalwood and violet seem to take turns being most noticeable, which is fascinating. The dry amber notes mediate between the sandalwood and violet nicely. Difficult to describe accurately, definitely try before you buy as this will not be for everyone.

Complex dark fruits and violet
I was excited about this one for the violet note, but there’s a very strong element that I can’t tolerate and sadly I don’t know which it is. Either the liquorice or the sandalwood. It’s a complex scent and I would recommend sampling before going full size.
