This
striking composition entices with spicy notes of saffron and cinnamon,
supported by a beautiful rose. The heart is comprised of exotic myrrh,
oud wood and tobacco, which lend a stunning smoky quality to the
fragrance, developing into a luxurious base of creamy woods, labdanum
and dark animalic accords. An authentic and complex oud combining
saffron and rose to create a wonderfully rich and opulent scent.
"The
original Betrothal perfume was made by the Grossmith perfumery for
Princess May, on the occasion of her wedding to King George V. Then the
princess became the newly crowned Queen Mary, who happens to be Prince
William's great-great grandmother, and those ripples of history resonate
in Betrothal’s beautiful revival in time for today’s fairytale royal
wedding of William and Kate."
