HER002 EAU DE PARFUM
//
[Hera]
A fragrant expression of HERA the Goddess of Matrimony and Priestess of Proper Protocol.
A classic and traditionally feminine composition – orderly, commanding and of course, fit for a Queen.
In developing this fragrance, we took inspiration from the Cow-Eyed Goddess’s most sacred of domains - her powder room.
The accord unfolds with a refined opening of bergamot, pink pepper and a hint of peach.
This sparkling overture gives way to a floral procession. Fragrant flowers are [without doubt], at heart of this fragrance as jasmine, rose, lily of the valley and ylang-ylang all begin to bloom - each petal keeping pace.
Beneath stands the vintage, timeless and solid structure of sandalwood, vetiver, vanilla and patchouli – powering the Queen’s parade.
