Dream: A modern and fresh, yet cozy amber created by balancing white musks  with orchid molecules. The tartness of Gentian extract and mandarin lift  the spirit.
Scent: Ambery, bright with ingredients such as Benzoin from Laos; Geranium  from Egypt and Patchouli from Bali which have obtained "For Life Social  Responsibility Certification"; Peru Balsam which is FairWild certified;  and a sliver of Wild Spanish labdanum are there for extra fluidity and  sensuality. It also possesses a molecule found in Ambergris, orchids and  osmanthus, for the nosely effect.
Twist: Gentian, extracted through molecular distillation, is a plant common in  the Chinese and Japanese pharmacopeia, but not extracted there,  unfortunately. However, it is harvested wild on the volcanic slopes of  Volvic, France, as in the water, exactly where I grew up. The root is  extracted and smells very tangy. It is as nasty to unroot from the  ground as vetiver roots and agave bulbs. The Gentian scent is key in  this fragrance, with Mandarin for the freshness.
