Composition of the fragrance
The composition opens with invigorating top notes of zesty bergamot, warm cinnamon, and aromatic incense, setting the stage for a captivating experience. After some time, you can feel the notes of delicate rose, elegant iris, and intoxicating jasmine add a floral allure that entices the senses. The finish of enchanting myrrh, sensual leather, and comforting benzoin create a woody and chypre foundation that adds depth and sophistication to the fragrance.
Story of the fragrance
Did I Love a Dream?" is a fragrance that captures the essence of a dreamlike encounter, inspired by the provocative ballet performance of Vaslav Nijinsky and the collaboration with Mx Justin Vivian Bond. It explores the blurred boundaries between fantasy and reality, sensuality and desire. Like the faun awakening from his mid-day sleep, the fragrance evokes the memory of a chase, where alluring nymphs and libidinous pursuits intertwine. It is a scent that ignites passion and challenges societal norms, just as Nijinsky's scandalous performance did in 1912.
