Sorce's extrait for the lore of the female poisoner — Catherine de' Medici, Cleopatra, Lucrezia Borgia, Wu Zetian — and the fear of women's botanical knowledge that has followed powerful women for centuries. Jasmine absolute opens in a hypnotic bloom over incense, milky tea, vanilla absolute and black amber: a tincture in a tea, a garden that can heal or harm. From the Charlotte, North Carolina apothecary house, sold from 2 ml to 100 ml and in oil-based rollerballs.
