Inspired by black onyx, the stone of harmony, mystery and surrender, BURNING FOR YOU evokes a heady and lush undercurrent easing you into letting go. The top notes add an edgy hint of spice to the seductive ambiance. Cardamon leads you into deep woody forests with its aromatic resinous tones. At the heart of this flame, the woodiness of Birch, Patchouli and Sandalwood permeate the air. The hypnotic nuance of saffron is reminiscent of a bitter sweet attraction. Grounded in a provocative leather accord with precious Oud and Amber, Vanilla brings that final touch of sweetness.
