After My Own Heart
INeKE
After My Own Heart is the opening number in this imaginative line of fragrances. A romantic reflection on finding yourself in a place that feels just right, After My Own Heart is a scent that’s inspired by the romantic and wistful lilac flower, which to Ineke is the forgotten flower of perfumery. The scent of lilac blossoms opening in the early morning sun sets the stage for the sandalwood and heliotrope notes that follow. Further layers of verdant foliage and sweet spices lead you to a secret garden, a special place where dreams may go. After My Own Heart creates a dramatic opening and leaves a lasting impression.
