Where the wind carries forgotten stories, a veil moves and with it, the quiet truth of who we are becoming...

Cess Rouge is a literary dreamscape that drifts beyond pages and tide, where story, art, and fragrance intertwine to stir every part of you. The Thorned Veil Collection, inspired by the poetic story collection written and published by Normanique Thomas, transforms its emotional arcs into scent to create a multisensory experience.



BURN.

Heat does not destroy; It reveals. Every awakening begins with something that scorches...

part i:

BURN...

IT LINGERS LIKE SMOKE LONG AFTER FLAME. WHEN DESIRE CONFRONTS TRUTH, THE HEART LEARNS THAT FIRE IS BOTH DESTRUCTION AND REBIRTH.


SAFFRON SPARKS AGAINST PINK PEPPER, IGNITING THE OPENING WITH A HEATED RUSH. A SMOLDERING HEART OF ROSE AND RESINOUS AMBER UNFURLS SLOWLY, LIKE EMOTION YOU CAN NO LONGER CONTAIN.

DEEP VETIVER, AUSTRALIAN SANDALWOOD, AND BOURBON VANILLA STEADY THE BURN, WHILE SMOKED VANILLA LEAVES A TRAIL AS SOFT AS ASH AND AS HAUNTING AS MEMORY.

ENTER THE FLAMES

BLOOM.

The bloom is not fragile; it's the rebirth of a self who refused to stay buried...

PART II:

BLOOM...

NOT ALL SOFTNESS IS FRAGILE. SOME PETALS LEARN TO OPEN EVEN AFTER THE THORNS.

A TENDER OPENING OF PINK PEONY AND PEAR BLOSSOM LIFTS LIKE THE FIRST BREATH AFTER A LONG NIGHT. A RADIANT HEART OF ROSE, HELIOTROPE, AND SOFT MUSK UNFOLDS SLOWLY, WARM AND LUMINOUS.

THE BASE GLOWS WITH CREAMY SANDALWOOD AND VANILLA ORCHID, SETTLING ON THE SKIN LIKE PETALS CARRIED ON A GENTLE BREEZE.

ENTER THE BLOOM

BECOME.

Becoming is not an arrival; it's the continuous unfolding of a self no longer afraid of its own depth...

PART III:

BECOME...

NOT EVERYTHING THAT SHINES IS NEW. SOME LIGHT IS BORN FROM WHAT SURVIVED.

A BRIGHT OPENING OF SPARKLING CITRUS AND CHAMPAGNE ACCORD LIFTS WITH EFFORTLESS GLOW. A HEART OF WHITE FLORALS AND WARM AMBER SHIMMERS LIKE LIGHT CATCHING A FACETED STONE.

THE BASE SETTLES INTO CREAMY MUSK, SUEDE-LIKE WOODS, AND A VEIL OF SOFT VANILLA, GLOWING WITH QUIET, ENDURING RADIANCE.

ENTER THE BECOMING
