Notes

Top notes

  • Tea Leafy, softly smoky and clean, ranging from fresh green to dark infusion.
  • Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
  • Coriander Citrusy, woody and a little soapy spice with a fresh brightness.

Heart notes

  • Ginger Zesty, spicy and slightly woody, hot and fresh at once.
  • Cardamom Cool, aromatic and sweetly spicy, with a camphor and citrus lift.
  • Nutmeg Warm, nutty and slightly sweet spice with a soft, powdery depth.
  • Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
  • 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.
  • Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
  • Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
