Notes

Top notes

  • Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
  • Lavender Clean, herbal and slightly camphorous, with a soft floral sweetness.
  • Lime Green, tart and zingy, with a sharper bite than lemon.
  • Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
  • Thyme Warm, dry herb with a peppery, slightly medicinal bite.

Heart notes

  • Orange Blossom Creamy, honeyed white flower with a green, citrusy lift.
  • Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
  • Coconut Creamy, sweet and slightly sunny, with a soft milky tone.
  • Lily Rich, creamy, slightly spicy white bloom with a waxy fullness.
  • Black Currant Tangy, dark and slightly musky, with a green, almost catty sharpness.
  • Apple Crisp, juicy and bright, from cut green skin to ripe red flesh.

Base notes

  • Mate Dry, leafy and tobacco-like herbal tea with a smoky green edge.
  • Galbanum Intensely green, bitter and resinous, like crushed stems and sap.
  • Pink Pepper Bright, rosy and peppery, lighter and fruitier than black pepper.

  • Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
