Saint Petal begins as a demure beauty: luminous orange blossom, bergamot, a hint of cumin. Then the flower gets crushed. The heart blends violet leaf, jasmine sambac, coffee and incense over the dry woodiness of Akigalawood.
The base darkens the picture with amyris, vetiver, cistus, oud and leather. A highly concentrated extrait, aged three months in Korean earthenware jars, that reveals the hidden side of a flower.

Saint Petal in detail
Born To Stand Out, a Korean house with a readily provocative tone, likes strong contrasts. Saint Petal, presented as an extrait, starts from an almost too-perfect orange blossom only to unsettle it: cumin, coffee and oud come to crumple it and give it a darker side.
The official pyramid opens on orange blossom, cumin and bergamot: a luminous start, immediately pricked by a spicy, slightly animalic note. The heart brings together violet leaf, jasmine sambac, coffee, incense and akigalawood. The base pairs amyris, vetiver, labdanum, oud and leather for a dark, woody foundation.
Saint Petal is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: a night out, a dinner, an occasion when you enjoy a flower that does not play innocent.
Three florals in our catalogue share some of its materials: Birth of Venus by Argos brings together bergamot, orange blossom, jasmine sambac, vetiver and labdanum; Lyric Woman by Amouage pairs bergamot, vetiver and incense around a rose; Melón Malo, from the same house, finds oud, labdanum and leather again beneath a honeyed melon.
