It is the gay man that got me curious, troubled by ordinary grief and haunted by joy, a man apart and yet like any other; Followed by numbness, routine, sorrow and perhaps another kind of awakening. It is a fragrance based on a variety of woody notes such as violet wood, cashmere wood, mahogany and cedar wood; that reflects the man who constructs or reconstructs a personality to bear the weight of loss, and whom society will not permit to grieve. – MARK BUXTON, perfumer
