You know how a backing band is sometimes so good that it gathers a fan base, leaves its headline singer behind, and goes on tour by itself? That’s what happened with Temptation. It’s the bass and the beat beneath Take Me To The River but, back at the 4160Tuesdays lab, it’s kept blended, ready to be added to the headline accords. All it took was a few drops on an apron, and perfumer Sarah McCartney realized it needed to be worn all on its own. It’s the strong silent one that will always be there. Everyone can wear it. You can use it on its own, or add it to a lighter, flighty fragrance to help it last longer and waft further. It’s gorgeous.
