Perfume Story :
The finest Cigars being lit, intense cigars swirled around lily and ginger notes, the smell of bare skin exposed to the fumes, Tanis an ancient city full of stars and lively when it was a scent that you can wear while cruising, on the beach or in a boardroom, regal in approach, mighty in presence, delightful if you light a candle for your beloved one.

It takes me back to best attempt at a Lily of the Valley fragrance in 1956 when Roudnitska made a timeless piece of artistry embodying that flower that has a various legends associated with it, one of which was how this flower is said to be the materialization of Eve’s tears when she was driven out of the Garden of Eden.

Reminds me of wandering the halls of a college as a kid with my dad, back in the days of cigarette vending machines. Something old and comforting about it.
The honey is very strong to me. As well as the white flowers (not generally a fan) but those die into the background fairly quickly. It becomes this wonderful spiced honey with hints of tobacco and woods after about an hour.
