Description The old man at the grocery store used to laugh with no humor. ”Bread and circuses,” he’d say—feed the people and you can control them. On a hot night’s fire escape, she placed like tarot cards three objects: a book of James Oppenheim’s poetry, a weathered guitar, and a single red rose. As kitchen windows betrayed the sounds of women, toiling in the thousands, baking tomorrow’s bread, she came upon a more beautiful idea.

The rose comes through first, then this warm bread note underneath that I didn't know a perfume could even do. Wore it on a cold rainy Tuesday and kept catching it on my scarf all day. Genuinely unlike anything else on my shelf.

The nutmeg and cacao keep this from being a typical rose scent, it smells warm and a little strange in the best way. I get the bread note most in the first hour, then it settles into something soft and resinous. Wore it to a dinner and two people asked what I had on.

The rose and sweet orange hit first, then about twenty minutes in the cacao and labdanum settle into something warm and almost chewy. I wore it to a dinner and two people leaned in asking what it was.
