Some pairings are good. Some are unexpected. And some feel like they were always meant to find each other.
As we head into party season, we’ve been playing with layering - and one combination has very quickly become our go-to for evenings... that run later than planned (wink wink).
The trick?
Four squirts of War of the Roses as your base: bright bergamot and citrus lifted with spice, wrapped around rich rose, jasmine and violet, settling into warm woods and amber. Floral drama with intention.
Then two squirts of Midnight to deepen the edges - aromatic freshness at the top, moving into cedar, rose and spice, before dropping into velvety musk, vetiver and a soft tobacco finish.
The result is an intoxicating, room-shifting fragrance: bold without being loud, seductive without trying, and the kind of scent that clings to silk, velvet and memory long after the night is over.
It’s the perfect finishing touch for party season - a little mysterious, entirely unforgettable.
