Bel Ami

Notes

Top notes

• Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.
• Sage Dry, herbal and camphorous, with a clean silvery bite.
• Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
• Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.

Heart notes

• Carnation Spicy, clove-tinged flower with a peppery-sweet warmth.
• Basil Peppery, green and a touch anise-like, with a juicy herbal snap.
• Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
• Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
• Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
• Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.

Base notes

• Leather Dry, supple and slightly smoky, like worn hide.
• Oakmoss Damp forest floor, bittersweet and slightly salty-green.
• Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
• Styrax Smoky, leathery and balsamic resin with a sweet, spicy warmth.
• Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
