Libertine
Contradictions In ILK
This scent story is set in a palazzo in Venice, home to Cassanova - the most famous libertine of all time. Lacking in moral principles, a sense of responsibility or sexual restraint - dare you be in his presence?
Dusky dark rose soaked in cognac and bitter orange flower, teased with soft worn leather, hot wax, spicy cumin, deep saffron and held down by amber and dark woods. Not for the faint of heart, but for the bold of spirit.
Have a look at Libertine's contradicting paired scent, Virtuous. Each pair is harmoniously crafted so that each highlights and subdues certain qualities of the other to create a unique third or fourth scent depending on which way round you layer.
Extrait De Parfum, 20% Oil Concentrate. Cruelty free and ecologically responsible.
