Notes

Top notes

  • Black Currant Tangy, dark and slightly musky, with a green, almost catty sharpness.
  • Pear Watery, sweet-green fruit with soft, rounded edges.

Heart notes

  • Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
  • Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
  • Orange Blossom Creamy, honeyed white flower with a green, citrusy lift.

Base notes

  • Praline Sweet, nutty, caramelised sugar and nut paste.
  • Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
  • Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
  • Tonka Bean Warm, sweet, hay-like and almondy, with a vanilla-tobacco softness.
