Notes

Top notes

  • Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
  • Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
  • Grapefruit Juicy, bitter-sweet and slightly sulphurous, with a clean sparkle.
  • Lime Green, tart and zingy, with a sharper bite than lemon.
  • Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.
  • Rosemary Resinous, piney herb with a clean, medicinal sparkle.
  • Thyme Warm, dry herb with a peppery, slightly medicinal bite.

Heart notes

  • 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.
  • Violet Sweet, powdery and faintly green, like candied petals.

Base notes

  • Galbanum Intensely green, bitter and resinous, like crushed stems and sap.
  • Oakmoss Damp forest floor, bittersweet and slightly salty-green.
  • Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
  • Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
  • Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
  • Benzoin Warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin with a soft balsamic glow.
  • Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
  • Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
  • Labdanum Sticky, golden, leathery-ambery resin with a warm, animal-like sweetness.
  • Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
