The Heart of Leo Eau de Parfum emphasizes the lion's strength and elegance. The fragrance blends a sweet and tangy accord of blackcurrant at the top with a smoky olibanum extract in the heart and the resinous essential oil of myrrh at the base.
Top notes: Blackcurrant.
Middle notes: Myrrh.
Base notes: Frankincense.
The noble lion begins his journey on the Arabian Peninsula, home to frankincense. The scent of resin travels across the continents, and the lion explores Africa, where he discovers the balsamic nectar of myrrh. Myrrh essential oil is distilled to reveal its spicy warmth and tangy edge. To give the lion's journey back to the moon a sweet twist, blackcurrant juice is used in the form of a concentrated syrup known as blackcurrant accord, with a rich sweetness and tart undertones. The essence of the fruit is captured and refined through an innovative method that recreates its core aroma.
The Heart of Leo Eau de Parfum is crafted with alcohol produced using an alternative method.
