Notes

Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.

Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
Geranium Green, minty rose-leaf scent with a slightly metallic, lemony brightness.
Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
Ylang-Ylang Banana-tinged, custardy and sweetly floral, with a smooth tropical glow.

Oud Dark, resinous, smoky and slightly medicinal wood, with a rich, leathery depth.
Ambergris Salty, sweet, skin-like and slightly marine; a soft, glowing warmth.
Saffron Leathery, golden and slightly metallic spice with a dry, honeyed warmth.
Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
Cashmere Wood A warm, velvety wood effect, smooth and slightly musky.
Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
Cinnamon Warm, sweet and woody-spicy, with a cosy bakery glow.
Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
Nutmeg Warm, nutty and slightly sweet spice with a soft, powdery depth.
Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
Rhubarb Tart, crisp and juicy, with a sharp green-fruity acidity and a hint of sweetness.
