Love Is Nearer Death
Fragrance notes
Character
Love Is Nearer Death suits someone who wants a floral that does not behave like daylight. It is composed by Sharra Lamoureaux for Alkemia Perfumes and carries a mood that belongs to after dark, when rooms feel smaller and the air turns heavier. The person who wears this wants scent to feel present and unapologetic, not a polite background.
Tuberose and ylang-ylang sit beside jasmine sambac, neroli, lotus petals, vanilla orchid, and black orchid. Carnation adds a warm spicy edge while cacao and amber deepen the blend. Labdanum brings a woody, animalic weight that keeps the sweetness from floating. The result is a white floral that leans yellow, thick with petals and resin, sweet but not light, floral and amber-rich with a dark, slightly untamed finish.
The cacao here is not a dessert note. It reads as dry and close to the skin of the flower, supporting the labdanum rather than leading. This is not for someone who prefers airy citrus or clean musk. It asks for attention and gives a dense, floral warmth in return, the kind of scent that stays in the room after the wearer moves, leaving a trace of spice and petal
