Notes

Top notes

  • Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
  • Raspberry Tart, sugary berry with a jammy edge.
  • Black Currant Tangy, dark and slightly musky, with a green, almost catty sharpness.
  • Clove Hot, sweet and medicinal, with a warm, dry spice.
  • Cinnamon Warm, sweet and woody-spicy, with a cosy bakery glow.

Heart notes

  • Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
  • Incense Dry, smoky and resinous, like smoke curling through a stone chapel.

Base notes

  • Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
  • Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
  • Benzoin Warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin with a soft balsamic glow.
  • Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
