No. 1 for Men

Notes

Top notes

• Lime Green, tart and zingy, with a sharper bite than lemon.
• Cardamom Cool, aromatic and sweetly spicy, with a camphor and citrus lift.
• Nutmeg Warm, nutty and slightly sweet spice with a soft, powdery depth.
• Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.

Heart notes

• Lily of the Valley Clean, dewy and green-white, like crushed spring stems.
• Heliotrope Almondy, vanilla-like powder with a soft floral warmth.
• Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
• Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
• Ylang-Ylang Banana-tinged, custardy and sweetly floral, with a smooth tropical glow.
• Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.

Base notes

• Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
• Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
• Tonka Bean Warm, sweet, hay-like and almondy, with a vanilla-tobacco softness.
• Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
• Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
• Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
• Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
