Prima Facie

Notes

Top notes

• Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.
• Orange Sweet, sunny peel with a rounded, juicy glow.
• Nutmeg Warm, nutty and slightly sweet spice with a soft, powdery depth.

Heart notes

• Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
• Saffron Leathery, golden and slightly metallic spice with a dry, honeyed warmth.
• Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.

Base notes

• Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
• Mineral Notes
• Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
• Oakmoss Damp forest floor, bittersweet and slightly salty-green.
