About This Fragrance
The fragrance pays homage to the poster that catapulted Alphonse Mucha to fame. Designed for the stage production of *Gismonda*, the artwork's commanding dignity is mirrored in the scent's distinctive contrast between comforting warmth and theatrical intensity.
Scent Profile
The fragrance opens with an unexpected pairing of bright bergamot, green petitgrain, and sparkling lemon smoothed by a drop of creamy milk. This introductory freshness soon gives way to a heart of dark black tea and mate leaves, evoking the rich aroma of freshly steeped herbal tea leaves. Graceful jasmine petals and earthy, powdery iris temper the herbal bitterness with refined floral texture. In the drydown, smoky cade and exotic palm tree interlace with sandalwood and clean musk, creating an intriguing, smoky-woody finish.
Who It's For & When to Wear It
Ideal for cooler afternoons, library sessions, or autumn evenings, this meditative yet expressive fragrance appeals to those who appreciate complex tea compositions with genuine woody and smoky depth.
