Bois d'Arménie

Notes

Top notes

• Olibanum Cool, lemony and peppery resin smoke, like a quiet stone church.
• Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
• Pink Pepper Bright, rosy and peppery, lighter and fruitier than black pepper.

Heart notes

• Guaiac Wood Smoky, sweet and tea-like wood with a gentle, leathery warmth.
• Benzoin Warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin with a soft balsamic glow.
• Coriander Citrusy, woody and a little soapy spice with a fresh brightness.

Base notes

• Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
• Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
