Warszawa, developed by Antoine Lie with founder Jan Ewoud Vos and named for the Polish capital (and David Bowie's instrumental of the same name), is a modern chypre opening on green galbanum and grapefruit over a broom-jasmine-iris heart and a mossy patchouli-vetiver base. It was later replaced within the Magnificent XII Collection and moved to the Private Collection.
