Days of innocence, that perhaps were never so pure. 1996 looks back to a certain moment in time, an olfactive snapshot that captures the dark sense of knowing beauty. Transmuting that instant headrush into scent, 1996 opens with the icy, deep green beauty of juniper berries that leads onto the creaminess of soft violets. Diverging beneath the surface, the spicy smokiness of Leather Accord mingles with warm viscous Black Amber, hints of sensuality to come. Powdery notes of vanilla wait at the end, memories of stolen knowledge smoothed over by the sepia-toned hues of nostalgia.
