Private Session
Fragrance notes
Character
Private Session opens with a tart raspberry and a sharp lemon that glint like sugar crystals caught in low light, but the anise coils underneath with that medicinal, licorice bite that stops it from being a simple fruit salad. The whipped cream arrives quickly, thick and airy, whisked through by a myrrh that is more resinous smoke than church incense, and the whole thing settles into a vanilla benzoin base propped up by dry cedar and woody notes. This is a fragrance that behaves like a dessert plated in a speakeasy: sweet enough to make you lean in, but with enough spice and wood to keep it from falling into syrupy territory.
The longevity is respectable at just over three hours before it becomes a close skin scent, and the sillage is undeniably intimate. On a winter coat or a cashmere scarf, it hums quietly. On bare skin during a summer afternoon, it practically whispers. It feels more mainstream niche, leaning into a familiar gourmand structure but with enough anise and myrrh to suggest a little rebellion. The numbers speak clearly: wear this when you want to feel soft but not innocent, at a dinner party or on a cool evening walk. Skip it if you need projection that fills a room or if lactonic sweetness makes you queasy. What else is a private session for, if not the pleasure of keeping something delicious to yourself? 🍰
