What We Do Is Secret

Designer · Spain

Paris*L.A.

Cola's caramel-and-spice sweetness, sharpened by lime and ginger, makes a fizzy, soda-fountain opening. Thyme and coriander bring herbal heat to neroli in the heart, and macarons, all icing sugar and almond paste, sweeten the musk and amber of the base.
