Written for a fairytale-themed fragrance with notes of Jasmin, Amber, Rum, Wood, White Musk, Vanilla, and Patchouli

We all know the fairytale of Snow White, breathtakingly soft and achingly beautiful. L takes this tale back to its roots in the ancient snow-covered forest of the Brothers Grimm, where Snow White flees the huntsman tasked with her murder by an evil queen. She discovers the wooden cottage of the seven dwarves and grows into a devastatingly beautiful maiden. However, unlike its Disney counterpart, revenge precedes the happily ever after. Lovely and dangerous, L mirrors the classic tale, melding innocence with a certain mother earth ferocity for a scent evocative of mesmerizing fairytale tableaux and wild nature. 

At the top, L is radiant and feminine. The warmth of rum and white musk balance bright jasmine notes for the ethereality of morning sun rising over a frozen meadow after fresh snowfall, sweeping across the untouched powder and painting it gold. As it turns to the forest, L’s youthful beauty develops an edge, with amber and wood weaving the invigoration of adventure into its bouquet. Tree trunks brush against your sleeves, sprawling for miles in every direction as moonlight filters through the canopy and you find haven in the dark. Soft and quiet, yet humming with rare force— this is a scent that finds strength in its own softness. With a drydown true to the genre, creamy vanilla and earthy patchouli melt into the skin, wrapping themselves around lingering notes of wood and jasmine like hands around a steaming mug of tea. The result is casual opulence, slippered feet ascending a vaulted staircase and the whisper of a cloak as it sweeps along sun-warmed stone floor. 

Combining serene beauty with animal sensuality, L delivers the olfactory equivalent of curling into a leather armchair; fire roaring in the hearth and a window thrown open to the howling of wolves and falling snow. Complex yet gorgeously wearable, this is a scent for the character as at home in the forest as they are in a castle.
