Notes

Top notes

  • Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
  • Green Notes Fresh, sharp, just-cut leaf, crisp and slightly bitter like crushed stems.
  • Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
  • Pineapple Tropical, tangy and bright, with a sweet, golden juiciness.
  • Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.
  • Cardamom Cool, aromatic and sweetly spicy, with a camphor and citrus lift.
  • Papaya Soft, musky-sweet tropical flesh with a faint buttery edge.

Heart notes

  • Lily of the Valley Clean, dewy and green-white, like crushed spring stems.
  • Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
  • Violet Sweet, powdery and faintly green, like candied petals.
  • Nutmeg Warm, nutty and slightly sweet spice with a soft, powdery depth.
  • Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
  • Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
  • Freesia Fresh, peppery-sweet petal note with a touch of citrus and green.

Base notes

  • Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
  • Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
  • Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
  • Oakmoss Damp forest floor, bittersweet and slightly salty-green.
  • Green Tea Leafy, softly smoky and clean, ranging from fresh green to dark infusion.
  • Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
