They’re marking the milestone with Le 15, a new “mystical composition” inspired by palo santo, the South American tree used as an aromatic incense, and believed by some to have medicinal and sacred properties.1
The opening is gorgeous: bright citrus and petitgrain grounded by a fair dusting of nutmeg…
