Clarity, even in the dark.
Hypatia opens on a metallic rose flash and luminous bergamot air, a mind at work before the room has filled. The heart carries warm coriander and black pepper into soft, powdery iris and a true velvet rose, a honeyed tisane, cool marble, dry parchment, and temple frankincense. It closes on pale olive wood, cedar and creamy sandalwood, myrrh, sweet opoponax and a breath of cistus over a hush of moss, settling into stone, rounded out by a soft, warm musk: architecture, touched with gold. Luminous, exacting and composed.
