HEART NOTES: Coconut / BASE NOTES: Benzoin, Beeswax, Bitter Almond, Guaiac Wood, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, White Musk / HEAD NOTES: Licorice / OLFACTORY FAMILY: Gourmand / GENDER: Unisex / COLLECTION: Noire / Deep within Aztec Mexico, Serge Lutens leads us in the footsteps of the conquistador Hernan Cortés and his discovery of the most heavenly nectar, vanilla. A delicious, wood-scented journey to the heart of a forgotten civilisation. To paraphrase Freud, it's not the evil who are full of regrets, but the good. Both the devil and vanilla like black. No sentimentality here! Within each of us, this mellowness grows stronger and more refined thanks to contrasting wood notes. - Serge Lutens
