🗡️ The Inspiration: The Opera
The final scene of Madame Butterfly. The Butterfly's Suicide is the Gothic version. It mixes the White Flowers with Metallic Blood, Cold Steel, and Incense. It is tragic, sharp, and heavy.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Blood and Bloom
The scent opens with Metallic Accord. The heart is Wilted Tuberose and Red Pepper. The base is Opoponax and Earth. It is haunting.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Dark
-
Rose Oxide: Metallic blood edge.
-
Opoponax: Sweet myrrh, smelling of grief.
