White Flowers Notes
A distinct league of floral powerhouses including Tuberose, Jasmine, and Gardenia, known for their creamy, narcotic heaviness that often intensifies as the sun goes down. Unlike their shy daylight cousins, these blooms possess a carnal, indolic undertone, a whisper of animalic warmth amidst the sweetness, that makes them unapologetically sensual and dominating.
