Inspired by Shakespeare's sonnet 116, the lovely team at Liis has created an olfactory tribute to "the enduring nature of devotion and emotional connection, venerating love in all its forms." Of True Minds departs from the California brand's ever-popular tendency toward sheer sparkle, this time wrapping us in the wonderful warmth of spiced amaretto with soft suede and rich resins. The drydown radiates with golden patchouli that brings a nostalgic-yet-modern romantic glow. Another standout scent from the extraordinary perfumer, Jérôme Epinette.

Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments; love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixèd mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand’ring bark
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come.
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom:
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

—William Shakespeare
