Escentric Intelligence & Fantasy The Beautiful Mind Series
"Memory is infinite, nothing touches it like the sense of smell."
This extravagant side of memory skills is represented in the fragrance by absolute of tiare blossom. The tiare is a type of gardenia native to Tahiti, rarely used in quantity due to its prohibitive cost. “Unlike many absolutes,” says Schoen, ‘absolute of tiare smells like the living bloom itself. It’s very special, very exotic.
Tiare’s creamy sensuality is lifted by an abundance of luminous top notes such as magnolia bud, hedione (the greener, less sweet side of jasmine) and bergamot. Schinus molle (pink pepper), something of a Schoen signature, adds a spark of spiciness. The drydown is soft and woody, with cashmeran, sandalwood, cedar, and light musk.
