Pikovaya Dama tells the story of an iconic Russian novel written in the 19th century by Aleksandr Pushkin. Entitled The Queen of Spades, the novel plays a key role in the history of the country and serves as the inspiration for this scent. Opening with top notes of Calabrian bergamot and neroli, the heart of Pikovaya Dama Xerjoff is a powdery accord of Turkish iris, coriander and Moroccan atlas cedar. Base notes of patchouli, musk and bourbon vanilla provide a warming comfort that reveals itself on the skin as time goes by.
