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.
