Locusta of gaul

History remembers kings and emperors. But sometimes, the most powerful person in the room never wore a crown.

Her name was Locusta.

Renowned for her extraordinary knowledge of poisonous plants, Locusta became one of the most feared - and sought after - women of the Roman Empire.

So valuable was her expertise that Emperor Nero reportedly spared her life, believing her knowledge was too important to lose.

For nearly 2,000 years, her name has lingered between history and legend.

Every fragrance in the Particular Poison Collection begins with a true story. This one began with a woman whose knowledge altered the course of an empire.

Inspired by Locusta, this fragrance opens with luscious black fig before warm brown sugar melts into rich amber - a scent that’s dark, elegant, and impossible to forget.
