Description

DEV TWO by Olympic Orchids is a bold and insistent fragrance that captures a tempestuous romantic phase, blending the spiritual with the carnal. It opens with a vibrant burst of spices and a hint of davana, quickly moving into a rich heart of resinous labdanum, warm immortelle, and a subtle rose, all enveloped in a plume of incense. The dry down reveals a deep, smoky, and animalic character with black agar, musks, and a distinct leather accord, creating a dense and seductive aura that lingers beautifully. This scent is known for its significant presence and impressive longevity, making it a standout for those who appreciate complex, resinous, and animalic compositions. Perfumer: Ellen Covey
