Terry Pratchett
English Author
The bravest person I've ever met was a young boy going through massive amounts of treatment for a very rare, complex and unpleasant disease. I last saw him at a Discworld convention, where he chose to take part in a game as an assassin. He died not long afterwards, and I wish I had his fortitude and sense of style.

I have always wanted to create a fragrance from its inception to fruition and articulate femininity, confidence, and fortitude.
