Notes

Top notes

  • Aldehydes Sparkling, soapy, waxy fizz; like freshly ironed linen and champagne.
  • Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
  • Saffron Leathery, golden and slightly metallic spice with a dry, honeyed warmth.

Heart notes

  • Pink Pepper Bright, rosy and peppery, lighter and fruitier than black pepper.
  • Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
  • Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.

Base notes

  • Ambergris Salty, sweet, skin-like and slightly marine; a soft, glowing warmth.
  • Olibanum Cool, lemony and peppery resin smoke, like a quiet stone church.
