Fragrance Profile:
1996 is an olfactory photograph, inspired by a hauntingly beautiful image captured by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. The scent opens with icy, pine-like juniper berries, balanced by a subtle bite of black pepper. As it unfolds, the heart introduces leather and orris, adding depth and an almost melancholic elegance. The base is warm and rich, featuring black amber, vanilla, and patchouli, leaving a soft yet enigmatic trail.

Perfect for:

• Those who appreciate deep, layered fragrances with a story
• Evening wear, introspective moments, or artistic settings
• Fans of woody-ambery scents with a balance of spice and warmth

1996 is a blend of contrast and memory, evoking a sense of nostalgia, where innocence and experience collide in an intoxicating symphony of warmth, spice, and sensuality.
