Leaning against the rooftop railing of your walk-up, the timid light of the studio opposite lit up our faces. Your coat draped over my shoulders, your floriental fragrance enveloping my thoughts, together we watched them – the young artist and his colorful canvas.

A fragrance of unwavering sensuality. The sensuality of the petals of hawthorn flowers, the very generous tuberose absolute and ylang ylang are illuminated by peppers. The powerful presence of sandalwood, benzoin laos, opoponax and venezuelan tonka bean root the ethereal petals in the earth.

Nebula Viridis is Latin for “fresh mist”, and this extrait billows with hazy radiance. A luminous opening of Sicilian lemon and Calabrian bergamot cuts through the air like sunlight, sharpened by saffron and the rich depth of labdanum. The effect is crisp, golden. Warm woods glow in the heart, including guaiacwood, patchouli and Caledonian sandalwood, before vanillic benzoin and amber assert their sensuality.
