The sumptuous dark purple flower headdress with the delicate pink centers and the folded petals is sexy and seductive. Her right eye is the passion flower rendered in hot green and purple. She is regal but open and accessible. Feminine with the dark strength of a warrior queen.

I developed a scent based on this painting for my fragrance line COGNOSCENTI. For the regal qualities a hint of Orris Root (Iris-In ancient times the iris was a symbol of power and majesty used as the original scepter). For the easy seductive quality I chose Sandalwood and Amber. The painting’s radiance dictated the bright and floral top note of Italian Bergamot. However, it still needed a bridge to the other sultry notes, one that could define the heart and the overall scent sketch.  Coriander. It can support citrus notes, enhance spicy blends, and add an interesting earthy tone to other oils. To enhance the earthy side of it I added Oakmoss and Patchouli. Regal and seductive.
