1740 Marquis de Sade

It hits hard with a sharp, medicinal burst of artemisia and bergamot, cutting through the air before settling into a dense, resinous heat. The heart is where the Marquis hides: a thick, savory mix of immortelle and coriander layered over raw, tanned leather. It is sweet and smoky, held together by birch and dark patchouli. As it settles, a dry, woody spine of Virginia cedar and vanilla emerges, grounding the intensity. This is a scent with massive projection, clinging to fabric and skin for hours, projecting a dry, aromatic shadow that lingers long after you exit the room.
