• Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
• Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.
• Oud Dark, resinous, smoky and slightly medicinal wood, with a rich, leathery depth.
• Saffron Leathery, golden and slightly metallic spice with a dry, honeyed warmth.

• Guaiac Wood Smoky, sweet and tea-like wood with a gentle, leathery warmth.
