Lydeen Parfums silent opus

Lydeen Parfums silent opus turns a floral-amber core strange and dramatic, colliding ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose with coriander, bay leaf, oregano, cardamom and smoke over dense resins and woods.

Profile: Amber woody.

Notes: coriander, bay leaf, ambrette, ylang-ylang, cardamom; oregano, smoke, egyptian jasmine, moroccan rose, geranium; benzoin, amber, vanilla, labdanum, sandalwood, patchouli, musk, cedar.

Evolution: coriander, bay leaf and cardamom → smoky oregano with rose and jasmine → benzoin, labdanum and vanilla over patchouli, musk and cedar.

Best for: For someone with avant-garde taste who enjoys beauty interrupted by herbs, smoke and an unsettling theatrical shadow. It belongs at an experimental performance, in a rehearsal room after dark, or on a late-autumn night when ordinary florals feel too easy; oregano and dense resins make it fascinating but decidedly divisive.

Origin: Sweden.
