🎞️ The Inspiration: Guillermo del Toro (2006)
A dark fairytale; where magic is beautiful and dangerous. Pan's Labyrinth captures the atmospheric, saturated, and earthy soul of the film. It highlights the Damp Cedar, Bitter Pomelo, and Wild Berries. It is evocative and haunting.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Shadow and Sparkle
The scent opens with Pink Pepper. The heart is Wilted Jasmine and Raspberry. The base is Patchouli and Oakmoss. It is moody.

💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"It smells like a myth that came to life in the mud. Sweet berries, cold stone, and the scent of the abyss."
