INSPIRATION:

A hike through Ventana Canyon requires focus. To complete the strenuous trail, you'll need to climb steep switchbacks, scramble up a boulder or two, and–depending on the weather–you’ll likely be required to hop from one rock to the next as you make your way across an arroyo. Of course, slowing down provides the opportunity to focus on the exquisite beauty you might otherwise have missed. As you walk, take care to linger before the flowers in bloom. Notice the splendor of each one as you feel the sun on your skin and the breeze through your hair. Pay attention to the scents of the earth, the blossoms, and the scraggly trees baking in the sun. Eventually, you will arrive before the rock window with its stunning view. The scene of the majestic arch near the summit is a stunning thing, but remember that every step it took to get there is equally extraordinary. The Window is a scent inspired by the art of noticing beauty around you. Like the trail, the fragrance reveals itself gradually. First come the delicate notes of Gravel Ghost Blossoms, followed by the scent of Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, and the subtle spice of Saffron. Pink Pepper and Lavender combine to create a sense of depth and contrast before revealing the mysterious notes of Desert Ironwood. The Window is complex, contemplative, and perfect for those who admire the tacit elegance of nature, and who value taking time to savor every step along the way.

A Note from the Perfumer:
"For this fragrance, I drew inspiration from the striking contrast between the rugged ironwood, renowned for its resilience in the desert, and the delicate flowers that thrive in such harsh conditions. One particular flower, the gravel ghost, was especially influential. Its stems blend seamlessly into the earth, giving the impression that the flowers are magically floating above ground. This ethereal white floral scent, when combined with the rich notes of desert woods, amber, and leather, creates a fragrance that is both surprising and captivating"
