Notes

Top notes

  • Cardamom Cool, aromatic and sweetly spicy, with a camphor and citrus lift.
  • Olibanum Cool, lemony and peppery resin smoke, like a quiet stone church.
  • Labdanum Sticky, golden, leathery-ambery resin with a warm, animal-like sweetness.
  • Bitter Orange A sharp, slightly bitter citrus with a zesty, floral-peel freshness, drier and more complex than sweet orange.

Heart notes

  • Peony Airy, watery pink petals with a soft green freshness.
  • Ylang-Ylang Banana-tinged, custardy and sweetly floral, with a smooth tropical glow.
  • Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.

Base notes

  • Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
  • Rosewood Soft, dry wood with a gentle floral-spicy facet, lightly lemony and clean.
  • Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
  • Leather Dry, supple and slightly smoky, like worn hide.
  • Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
