Notes

Top notes

  • Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
  • Rhubarb Tart, crisp and juicy, with a sharp green-fruity acidity and a hint of sweetness.
  • Peach Velvety, juicy and faintly creamy, like fruit skin warmed by the sun.
  • Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.

Heart notes

  • Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
  • Lily of the Valley Clean, dewy and green-white, like crushed spring stems.
  • Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
  • Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
  • Narcissus Green, bittersweet and slightly narcotic, like bruised spring stems.
  • Tuberose Heady, creamy, buttery white flower with a rubbery-camphor edge.

Base notes

  • Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
  • Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
  • Rum Warm, boozy cane spirit with sweet, woody depth.
  • Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
