Universal Flowering
Holy Hell
$165
Description
Unapologetically surreal and addictive, this fragrance captures a sun-soaked, synthetic rebellion. The top evokes a vinyl snap of plastic and suntan lotion, evolving into smoky choya nakh and juicy melon. Neroli and ambergris bring a briny, floral dry down, both haunting and strangely luminous.
