Batch # 1A11124 | 3 Gallons Made | Dilution: 15%

Perfume No. 1 is a love story told in scent—dark yet radiant, intimate yet bold—where overripe fruit melts into the night air, and roses bloom under the warmth of a fading sun. Inspired by my travels through the Middle East, where the air hums with the aroma of ripe fruit, fresh roses, and warm woods, this perfume unfolds like a secret whispered at dusk.

Step inside an old orangery, where sunlight streams through antique glass, casting shifting patterns of gold across ivy-laced stone. The air is thick with the scent of citrus—tangerines, bergamot, bitter orange—ripening under the heat, their zest mingling with the green ivy of climbing vines. In the courtyard beyond, a stone fountain murmurs softly, its cool stone kissed by deep green moss.

As the sun sinks lower, the brightness of citrus gives way to a deeper pulse—the velvet hush of roses unfolding in the evening air. Moroccan Rose Damascena and Rose Otto bloom in opulent layers, their velvety petals brushing against the deep ruby sweetness of raspberry absolute. To weave these notes together, I introduced Davana—honeyed and golden, with a jammy warmth that binds fruit and flower like liquid sunlight.

Vanilla tincture from Madagascar drapes the roses in creamy warmth, soft as sunlit amber, while geranium absolute lends a whisper of green spice. As the scent deepens, tonka bean absolute unfurls with a toasted richness, giving way to the shadowed embrace of cedarwood and patchouli. Finally, Ambroxan and white musk linger—a luminous glow against the dark, ensuring the fragrance clings to the skin like the memory of warm silk at twilight.
