Opus 1144 is a woody Extrait de Parfum, inspired by the birth of the Gothic and the first stone laid at the Basilica of Saint-Denis in 1144. The opening of lemon, jasmine, and mandarin is luminous and crisp, like light filtering through a stained-glass window; the impression it leaves is one of a gathered space, both austere and clear.

The heart of benzoin, iris, and orchid brings a soft, powdery warmth, a passage from light into shadow. The base of white musk, leather, and grey amber closes the composition with solid, matte substance. Suited to those seeking an intimate woody scent, to be worn in moments of quiet rather than display.
