A mesmerising fragrance by Dominique Ropion, Carnal Flower exalts the ambivalence of a natural tuberose absolute in very high concentration. Of all flowers, this is definitely the most deadly. The tuberose, extremely concentrated in this signature creation by Dominique Ropion, shows the full force of its seductive secret: its duality. The initial impression it leaves on the skin is one of innocence. The botanical freshness of a bouquet. Its more animalic aspect then follows it. With emphasis from camphor and the darkness of spices, the indomitable character of the tuberose is tempered by milky notes with the soft and mellow comfort of white musk. Partly respectable and partly challenging, Carnal Flower is a flower with a thousand faces, which becomes one with its wearer... and leaves nobody indifferent. Melon, tuberose, white musk, milky notes. Top notes: watermelon Middle notes: tuberose Base notes: musk
