Les Larmes de Tirésias

It opens with juniper berry and pink pepper, giving a dry, spicy edge at first. In the heart, caramelized fig, frankincense and orange blossom come forward: the fig's sweetness merges with the floral side and turns creamy and soft. The base of leather, vanilla and amberwood takes over, balancing the sweetness with a leathery, smoky ground while the woody side dries it down. The overall feel is warm and characterful. Parfums de Marly Athalia and Penhaligon's Eau the Audacity have a close profile.
