50ML PARFUM (30% Concentration)
Floral, Green, Fruity, Ambery
Evoking the haunting glamour of Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard, Desmond is a perfume that captures the intoxicating scent of tuberose, a perfume favored by Norma. As protagonist Joe Gillis confesses, “She’d sit very close to me and she’d smell of tuberoses, which is not my favorite perfume”, a line that lingers in the memory like the scent itself, rich and impossible to ignore.
Tuberose, with its opulent sweetness and heady intensity, forms the heart of Desmond, radiating a sense of drama and intoxication. This luxurious bloom is entwined with the timeless elegance of rose and the luminous floral depth of jasmine, while a base of musk, wood, and amber resins anchor the composition in a deep, lingering warmth. The result is a fragrance that is as complex and multifaceted as Gloria Swanson’s portrayal of Norma Desmond; sophisticated, beguiling, and just a touch unsettling.
Desmond is an olfactory narrative of faded lights and velvet shadows, a perfume that envelops the wearer in rich layers of memory, mystery, and drama.
Please note: Our perfumes are made in very small batches and require a long time to age. Our next batch is in the works with a tentative shipping date of late June. Order today to reserve your bottle.
