Created by perfumer Karine Chevallier, London is a floral-leather olfactory portrait of a rain-slicked metropolis. It captures the unique grit and glamour of the city, from the wet cobblestones and blooming roses of a hidden garden to the dark, sophisticated interior of a private club in Mayfair. This isn't a traditional, heavy leather; it is a "modern-noir" scent that balances the romanticism of Rose and Iris against a rebellious, "London-fog" backdrop of Suede and Leather. It is the scent of a midnight walk through the city, where the air is cool, damp, and charged with possibility.
