"This is the first time I've worked with ingredients concentrated in a single terroir, in this case Guatemala. So I became even more interested in Peru balsam, a material I've been using for 40 years, ever since I started in perfumery. And now I see it in a new light. It brings a joy, a personal satisfaction, that's unique. The Guatemalan cardamom is really part of the luminosity of the top note. The green cardamom I used is very pure, not at all metallic, as cardamoms from other origins can be. I combined it in a spicy duo with cinnamon. To make it addictive, I added a duo of the finest centifolia and damascena rose extracts, I would describe this amber as luminous and addictive. A woody amber, between light and shade, like a field of cardamom. I really like the result."
