Vide Cor Meum (Patrick Cassidy)

The haunting operatic fragment from Hannibal (the movie) is a most beautiful short piece of music. It was written by Patrick Cassidy. Of course, it is suitably creepy in the setting of it all and that adds to the thrill. This is something of an experimental fragrance, with a faintly green accord, a very classy sandalwood, osmanthus, and a small amount of ginger. It’s edgy and sophisticated, a bit daring, and sharp on the top notes but cozies down to a very calming blend when it settles down on the skin.
