I couldn’t wait to start work on the project. I knew that a perfume inspired by Sonnet XVII couldn’t be the obvious dark bouquet of animalic white tropical flowers and strong musks, nor could it be the explicit, flowery carnations, smoky fire, and roses of the opening lines. It had to be something softer and subtler, an earthy but ethereal fragrance that almost turns in upon itself.
