Notes

Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
Grapefruit Juicy, bitter-sweet and slightly sulphurous, with a clean sparkle.
Ginger Zesty, spicy and slightly woody, hot and fresh at once.
Marigold Herbal-floral and slightly bitter, with a sunny, dry-green and faintly fruity character.

Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
Orange Blossom Creamy, honeyed white flower with a green, citrusy lift.
Incense Dry, smoky and resinous, like smoke curling through a stone chapel.
Opoponax Sweet, balsamic and slightly spicy resin, like warm syrup and incense.

Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
Benzoin Warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin with a soft balsamic glow.
Leather Dry, supple and slightly smoky, like worn hide.
Tonka Bean Warm, sweet, hay-like and almondy, with a vanilla-tobacco softness.
Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.

Oud Dark, resinous, smoky and slightly medicinal wood, with a rich, leathery depth.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
