Jezebel

I intended to create an alluring and seductive fragrance to fully represent the subject matter. A scent that beguiles and entices and just as you feel you have the fragrance figured out, it proceeds to change over and over again.

I wanted the initial throes to consist of the playful elements of pear, vanilla and chocolate to then meander into the lusciously sensual territory of Damask rose and cashmere musk.

This initially draws the user in, then morphing into a darker more foreboding setting and mood. The mysterious chameleon that is osmanthus then veers wildly from sweet fruit to leather nuances and smoky tobacco.

Using predominantly naturals, I intended to enable the fragrance to dance and become ever-changing to symbolise and pay homage to a historical figure who was mesmeric, manipulative, machiavellian and surreptitious in her cunning and clandestine affairs.
