Courtesan is the latest fragrance from Scent By Alexis, the collection of hand-made perfume oils created by New York-based artist Alexis Karl. Courtesan was "inspired by the temptress's of the Renaissance era", and features "violet notes flirt[ing] seductively with green tea and orchid".

Courtesan is $100 for 30 ml of perfume oil in a hand-made, one-of-a-kind gilded bottle, and is available online at lacremebeauty.
