Light, fruity pepper with a gentle sparkle

Wormwood

Bitter, herbal leaves

Jasmine

The sweet white “lady of the night” flowers on compound fences

Fresh red roses, like a wedding hall bouquet

Cinnamon

Warm, sweet spice, like cinnamon in buns or zobo

Cardamom

Cool, warm spice, like Arabian coffee or spiced tea

Amber

Warm, sweet and resinous, like soft incense glowing in a room

Incense

Smoky and spiritual, like church incense at Mass

Musk

How it wears

In Nigerian heat, most perfumes project more but fade faster. Spray some on your clothes to make it last longer.
