Notes

Top notes

  • Aldehydes Sparkling, soapy, waxy fizz; like freshly ironed linen and champagne.
  • 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.
  • Orange Sweet, sunny peel with a rounded, juicy glow.

Heart notes

  • Carnation Spicy, clove-tinged flower with a peppery-sweet warmth.
  • Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
  • Cinnamon Warm, sweet and woody-spicy, with a cosy bakery glow.
  • Geranium Green, minty rose-leaf scent with a slightly metallic, lemony brightness.
  • 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.
  • Violet Sweet, powdery and faintly green, like candied petals.
  • Ylang-Ylang Banana-tinged, custardy and sweetly floral, with a smooth tropical glow.
  • Tuberose Heady, creamy, buttery white flower with a rubbery-camphor edge.

Base notes

  • Oakmoss Damp forest floor, bittersweet and slightly salty-green.
  • Styrax Smoky, leathery and balsamic resin with a sweet, spicy warmth.
  • Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
  • Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
  • Benzoin Warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin with a soft balsamic glow.
  • Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
  • Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
