‘The contemporary interpretation of the myth of Tiresias, a man transformed into a woman after encountering the intertwined bodies of two snakes mating, which he struck with his staff, then returned to being a man seven years later. Tears, a metaphor for perfume, Greek sap that perfumes the world… A fragrance combining milky, resinous and woody notes. Dominated by incense, fig accord, resinous wood and amber base notes.’ – Jovoy
‘I was inspired by this golden resin from ancient Greece, and I wanted to incorporate the idea of forbidden fruit through this note of candied fig.’ – Alexandra Carlin
