Notes

Top notes

  • Aldehydes Sparkling, soapy, waxy fizz; like freshly ironed linen and champagne.
  • Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.
  • Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
  • Rosewood Soft, dry wood with a gentle floral-spicy facet, lightly lemony and clean.
  • Peony Airy, watery pink petals with a soft green freshness.

Heart notes

  • Ylang-Ylang Banana-tinged, custardy and sweetly floral, with a smooth tropical glow.
  • Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
  • Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
  • Lily Rich, creamy, slightly spicy white bloom with a waxy fullness.

Base notes

  • Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
  • Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
  • Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
  • Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
  • Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
  • Benzoin Warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin with a soft balsamic glow.
  • Oakmoss Damp forest floor, bittersweet and slightly salty-green.
