Romance Intense

Notes

Top notes

• Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
• Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.
• Black Currant Tangy, dark and slightly musky, with a green, almost catty sharpness.

Heart notes

• Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
• Lily of the Valley Clean, dewy and green-white, like crushed spring stems.
• Ylang-Ylang Banana-tinged, custardy and sweetly floral, with a smooth tropical glow.
• Violet Leaf Cool, green and slightly metallic, like a snapped leaf stem.
• Marigold Herbal-floral and slightly bitter, with a sunny, dry-green and faintly fruity character.

Base notes

• Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
• Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
• Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
• Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
