Magdalene

The account of Mary Magdalene breaking an alabaster jar of Spikenard oil to anoint Christ is an act of devotion and love that has echoed for two thousand years. Opening with bergamot and aldehydes, with a heart of genuine white rose absolute, tuberose, and jasmine, and threaded with hints of olibanum, sustainably harvested spikenard oil, and a hint of vanilla absolute on a white musk backbone, Magdalene is an intimate fragrance. The reverent feminine, rather than evidently churchlike. A quiet halo, rather than a bold proclamation.

Coming Soon · In final testing
