Universal Flowering
Seduction Theory
$10
Description
A sultry, fruit-laced oriental that tempts with contrast. The opening of jasmine and black currant seduces immediately. Litchi and martini in the heart lend an intoxicating edge. The base of tobacco, myrrh, and elemi brings smoky, balsamic depth to an otherwise luminous blend.
