Notes

Top notes

  • Lime Green, tart and zingy, with a sharper bite than lemon.
  • Bitter Orange A sharp, slightly bitter citrus with a zesty, floral-peel freshness, drier and more complex than sweet orange.
  • Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
  • Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.

Heart notes

  • Neroli Honeyed, fresh and a little bitter: orange blossom with a clean, citrus-edged sparkle.
  • Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
  • Cinnamon Warm, sweet and woody-spicy, with a cosy bakery glow.
  • Pepper Dry, warm and sharply aromatic, with a tingling bite.

Base notes

  • Leather Dry, supple and slightly smoky, like worn hide.
  • Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
  • Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
  • Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
