$88.00

While honeymooning in St. Lucia, my husband and I stayed in an open air resort. Our room was carved out of the side of a mountain with no walls between us and the open air. It was an overload on the senses at first but then we began to understand its true amazement. At night, the Caribbean Sea went black with only the glimpses of lights off the boats below. The aromas in the air were sexy and seductive. Spices intertwined with the flowers, waters and mountain air. In this moment, the earth became a part of us and we became a part of it. This fragrance begins with notes of cinnamon and fig as it unwinds into black currant, carnation, vetiver and patchouli. Notes of dark cocoa linger in the scent trail. .
