1996

Notes

Top notes

• Juniper Crisp, piney-gin berry with a fresh, resinous bite.
• Pepper Dry, warm and sharply aromatic, with a tingling bite.

Heart notes

• Violet Sweet, powdery and faintly green, like candied petals.
• Leather Dry, supple and slightly smoky, like worn hide.
• Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.

Base notes

• Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
• Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
• Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
