Tyger Tyger Extrait 100 ml

The title is the incipit of a masterpiece of poetry, The Tyger by William Blake.

 

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye,

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

 

 

The perfume is built around an accord of narcotic white flowers with sweet-fruity facets, which includes also an absolute of Tuberose - like a prima donna, the protagonist of a dramatic piece, she’s the finest example of a refined civilisation of a bygone world; in opposition to that, the base notes present different kind of woods, with some burnt and leathery qualities, referring to a post-apocalyptic scenario of destruction, mystery and darkness.

The result of these parts - which wouldn’t work individually - is a clashing, sparkling fragrance which gives me an exciting emotion of highly dramatic sophistication.

 

Notes: Narcotic flowers, honey, peach jam, patchouli, sandalwood, oakmoss, oud, leather, heliotropine.
