Note: Libertine Fragrance has changed their name to Paraphrase. However, their bottles, formulas, and fragrance names have remained the same, and this fragrance will return soon under the new brand name. 

Smoked Bloom was inspired by the tropics. It imagines an image of a deep, fiery orange light cascading over the landscape right as the sun rises over the horizon. It is a sticky, bounteous scent bursting with fruity tones. 

The scent begins with sweet, juicy apricot blended with citrus notes. Smoky tendrils of Haitian vetiver wind their way around these top notes, anchoring them to the base, and as the heart notes reveal themselves, delicate osmanthus flowers make their first appearance.

Osmanthus is a delicate and demure flower with soft white floral aspects and a gentle wisp of apricot. The osmanthus absolute used in Smoked Bloom also has a distinctly leathery feel to it. The scent finishes with a woody blend of sandalwood, vetiver and a steamy haze of clean musks.

Mood: fun, bright, secretive

Notes: bergamot, bay leaf, apricot, osmanthus, vetiver, sandalwood, white musk
