Notes

Top notes

  • Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
  • Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
  • Orange Sweet, sunny peel with a rounded, juicy glow.
  • Lavender Clean, herbal and slightly camphorous, with a soft floral sweetness.
  • Rosemary Resinous, piney herb with a clean, medicinal sparkle.

Heart notes

  • Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
  • Verbena Fresh, lemony herb, green and slightly sweet.
  • Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.

Base notes

  • Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
  • Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
  • Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
