Exalted opens with a sharp burst of bitter orange, tart bergamot, and snap-crisp green tomato leaf. As the initial citrus sting quietens down on skin, a thick heart of tuberose and orange blossom takes over the room. Soft violet and powdery iris cushion the heavy white florals, adding a cool, slightly chalky texture. Spicy cloves and rose trail behind, giving the floral core a warm, prickling edge. Hours later, the scent dries down into sweet honey, cedar, and clean white musk. The green top notes lingering against the dense base keep the sweetness from turning cloying during cool autumn afternoons. Show less

Barneys + L’Wren Scott is a heavy, oil-dense chypre floral that makes a strong statement right from the first spray. It hits the skin with a sharp blast of star anise and bitter wormwood, setting a moody, medicinal tone. As it settles, a thick bouquet of tuberose and marigold emerges, wrapped in the savory greenness of curry tree leaves. The base resolves into an earthy, dark patchouli and worn leather that clings to the skin for hours. This fragrance suits collectors who love vintage-leaning chypres with a modern, dry edge. It performs best during cool autumn evenings when the damp air coaxes out the leather and moss notes, making it a stellar candidate for a decant or sample. Show less

Sample first if you are sensitive to civet, sharp. Show less
