Notes

Top notes

  • Cardamom Cool, aromatic and sweetly spicy, with a camphor and citrus lift.
  • Geranium Green, minty rose-leaf scent with a slightly metallic, lemony brightness.
  • Pink Pepper Bright, rosy and peppery, lighter and fruitier than black pepper.

Heart notes

  • Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
  • Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
  • Cinnamon Warm, sweet and woody-spicy, with a cosy bakery glow.

Base notes

  • Leather Dry, supple and slightly smoky, like worn hide.
  • Oud Dark, resinous, smoky and slightly medicinal wood, with a rich, leathery depth.
  • Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
