Long before poetry and music, scent was the original love letter.  From the intoxicating allure of aphrodisiac florals to the ground warmth of woody essences, fragrance has the power to evoke passion and desire.

Among the many notes that whisper sweet nothings to the soul, tuberose and sandalwood stand out - each with a story as rich as the emotions they inspire.

We have re-imagined this ancient combination in our Collection Noir as After Dark.

The Aphrodisiac Allure of Tuberose

With its heady, creamy sweetness it is often described as the most seductive of all floral scents.  In ancient cultures, the tuberose flower was associated with forbidden love and dangerous beauty.  Both innocent and provocative, a paradox that mirrors the complexities of love itself.

In India the flower's essence was used in ancient love potions, concocted by alchemists and healers who interpreted the power of scent to influence the heart.

Sandalwood: The Warm Embrace of Devotion

If Tuberose is the siren call of love, sandalwood is its grounding embrace. This rich, woody note has been revered for millennia, not only for its luxurious aroma but also for its ability to calm the mind and open the heart.  Sandalwood's creamy, earthy scent evokes a sense of intimacy and connection.  It's no wonder that this precious wood has been used in sacred rituals across many diverse cultures.

A Single Whiff Sparks Emotion

One waft of this scent is enough to transport us to a moment of passion, a stolen kiss or a lifelong connection.  Scent, more than any other of our senses, is directly linked to our limbic system which controls our emotions and memories.
