Notes

Top notes

  • Cinnamon Warm, sweet and woody-spicy, with a cosy bakery glow.
  • Pink Pepper Bright, rosy and peppery, lighter and fruitier than black pepper.
  • Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.

Heart notes

  • Myrrh Warm, bittersweet, slightly medicinal resin, with a smoky, leathery depth.
  • Tuberose Heady, creamy, buttery white flower with a rubbery-camphor edge.

Base notes

  • Ambergris Salty, sweet, skin-like and slightly marine; a soft, glowing warmth.
  • Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
