Base notes
Ben Gorham's imaginary journey to 1920s Paris and its infatuation with African culture. African marigold, bergamot, buchu and neroli open bright and exotic over a floral heart of cyclamen, jasmine petals and violet, grounded by black amber, Moroccan cedarwood, musk and vetiver. Vibrant, warm and euphoric.
Scent story
To me this smells like African marigold, bergamot, buchu, lemon and neroli opening bright and exotic — a 1920s Paris fantasy of Africa. Cyclamen, jasmine petals and violet bloom in a soft, powdery heart. Black amber, Moroccan cedarwood, musk and vetiver ground it in warm, vibrant depth. It is Ben Gorham's imaginary journey: vibrant, warm, and euphoric. Beginner-friendly — exotic but easy, warm and joyful.
