Size & concentration
Description

A dinner for two, in the summer, under the stars. Conversations are drawing to a close. The tablecloth is stained and wrinkled. Coffee, rum, and chocolates are served. A calm, warm breeze, a delicious dance of aromas. The indulgence of cocoa and the warmth of rum are balanced by the woody character of papyrus.

 

Founder's inspiration:

"I wanted the Cartagena night to become a perfume. I wanted to forever remember that summer evening under the stars with my wife. A tribute to Colombia and its scents."

 

Perfumer(s): Clément Marx

 

Notes: rum, cocoa, petigrain, iris, sandalwood, vanilla, cedar, sugarcane, papyrus, vetiver, coffee

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
