It has a sweet, leathery, balsamic quality which I love. And of course, there is around 15% of cashmeran – which gives the fragrance its piney warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI also introduced a subtle fig, both the bitterness of the leaves and the ripeness of the fruit.

Aftel has sensitively tinted in watercolor the bewitching circular engravings of the Symbolorum, in which giant hands reach from the sky; lions, bears, and unicorns gambol; and distant spires beckon.
