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.
