Mojo: distinguished & mysterious X you

Description

Lilac Wine, by James Shelton, is about seeking solace in an intoxicating haze when love slips away. Though recorded across generations by legends like Nina Simone and Eartha Kitt, Jeff Buckley’s haunting, ethereal performance remains our ultimate muse.

Master Perfumer Frank Voelkl channels that hypnotic, melancholic beauty into scent. Grounded in the sophistication of a jazz club, a subtle cognac accord, aromatic lavender, and dry cedarwood establish a classic signature. Woven throughout is a contemporary shimmer: velvety plum and powdery violet, melting into an intimate, lingering musk. 

Olfactory notes

Top: plum, lavender, clary sage

Heart: violet, cognac accord

Base: cedarwood, musk, oakmoss

“Fragrance and music have a lot in common. We talk about fragrance notes and fragrance accords. You can talk about a theme or a melody within a fragrance.”
