Notes

Top notes

  • Pepper Dry, warm and sharply aromatic, with a tingling bite.
  • Lavender Clean, herbal and slightly camphorous, with a soft floral sweetness.
  • Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.

Heart notes

  • Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
  • Peru Balsam Warm, sweet, vanilla-and-cinnamon-like balsam, smooth and syrupy.
  • Clove Hot, sweet and medicinal, with a warm, dry spice.
  • Cinnamon Warm, sweet and woody-spicy, with a cosy bakery glow.

Base notes

  • Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
  • Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
  • Tonka Bean Warm, sweet, hay-like and almondy, with a vanilla-tobacco softness.
  • Benzoin Warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin with a soft balsamic glow.
