To me, a perfume is not always sexy. It depends on the way people wear it and why they wear a particular perfume at that particular moment. Perhaps they want to seduce, maybe they want to feel comfortable or to reinvent themselves. With my creations, I am telling stories but the person who is perfumed with my fragrance can recreate their own story.
