In ancient lore, and later in the art of perfumery, white flowers — jasmine, tuberose, gardenia, orange blossom, ylang ylang — are linked with seduction and sensuality. Their power comes from their animalic warmth, their almost imperceptible scent of skin, sweat, and human closeness. Like pheromones, this undercurrent is alluring to the primal senses, and the intimacy of scents heavy with indole are impossible for the subconscious to ignore. Shop a selection of voluptuous perfumes handmade with the precious and narcotic oils of the delicate white flowers.
