Powerful and intense, Avignon evokes the medieval city in the south of France which surpassed Rome as the Catholic Church's power center in the 14th century. It's the scent of gothic cathedrals and Papal palaces, of tapestries imbued with centuries of incense. Of cold marble steps, holy relics and dark confessions. The recognizable smells of frankincense and myrrh open the high mass of Avignon, giving way to the almost eye-smarting, gloriously smoky and resinous heart. A dry vanilla and soft Roman chamomile dull the edges of this reverent fragrance. Beautiful, dark and mysterious, Avignon takes its place among the most talked about (and admired) of CdG's entire line.

There was a time when vanilla lovers saw themselves on an eternal quest to find the holy grail of vanilla scents; each new contender for the title would tragically turn out to be too sweet, too fruity, too sharp, or, more often than not, gone in a matter of hours. Since Tihota came on the scene- soft, lightly caramelized, fluffy, and insanely long lasting- we’re happy to report that the quest for the perfect vanilla seems to have ended.

A different type of “skin scent,” All That Matters combines subtle wisps of lily, velvety sandalwood and sheer, sexy musk for a scent both detectable on its own but also remarkably subtle and chemistry enhancing. In other words, it’s drop dead gorgeous, as the legions of fans who demand it whenever we’re out of stock can attest to.
