Nanshe

Notes

Top notes

• Carrot Seed Earthy, dry and woody-sweet with a rooty, slightly spicy dustiness.
• Cardamom Cool, aromatic and sweetly spicy, with a camphor and citrus lift.
• Yuzu Tart Japanese citrus that sits between grapefruit and mandarin, bright with a subtle floral edge.
• Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.

Heart notes

• Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
• Ylang-Ylang Banana-tinged, custardy and sweetly floral, with a smooth tropical glow.
• Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.

Base notes

• Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
• Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
• Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
• Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
