Notes
Top notes
- Cypress Dry, resinous and green-woody, with a clean, mineral coolness.
- Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
- Orange Blossom Creamy, honeyed white flower with a green, citrusy lift.
- Neroli Honeyed, fresh and a little bitter: orange blossom with a clean, citrus-edged sparkle.
- Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
- Aldehydes Sparkling, soapy, waxy fizz; like freshly ironed linen and champagne.
Heart notes
- Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, dewy and green-white, like crushed spring stems.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-tinged, custardy and sweetly floral, with a smooth tropical glow.
- Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
- Gardenia Creamy, green-white petals with a lush, buttery fullness.
- Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
Base notes
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
- Tonka Bean Warm, sweet, hay-like and almondy, with a vanilla-tobacco softness.
- Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
- Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor, bittersweet and slightly salty-green.
- Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
- Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
