Notes

Top notes

  • Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
  • Cardamom Cool, aromatic and sweetly spicy, with a camphor and citrus lift.
  • Coriander Citrusy, woody and a little soapy spice with a fresh brightness.
  • Raspberry Tart, sugary berry with a jammy edge.

Heart notes

  • Honey Sweet, waxy, golden and slightly animal-like.
  • Olibanum Cool, lemony and peppery resin smoke, like a quiet stone church.
  • Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
  • Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
  • Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.

Base notes

  • Tobacco Leaf Sweet, dry, honeyed leaf with a warm, hay-like smoke.
