From ILK:

"Inspired by the sour edge of one’s mind, an odoriferous delve into the forbidden thoughts that whirr silently without sensor. A drunken, drowsily lulling scent capturing the stirring but poisonous effect you can have on your own mind when over indulging in dark, devious thoughts.

Spiced bergamot and bitter almonds, drunken by amaretto and cherry liquor, take the edge off the cyanide with their sticky sweetness. Warm notes of nutmeg and cardamom sink into the creaminess of Tonka bean, vanilla and sandalwood.

Have a look at Devious's contradicting paired scent, Sincere. Each pair is harmoniously crafted so that each highlights and subdues certain qualities of the other to create a unique third or fourth scent depending on which way round you layer.

50ml Extrait De Parfum, 20% Oil Concentrate, cruelty free, unisex, and ecologically responsible."
