Notes

Aldehydes Sparkling, soapy, waxy fizz; like freshly ironed linen and champagne.
Black Currant Tangy, dark and slightly musky, with a green, almost catty sharpness.
Peach Velvety, juicy and faintly creamy, like fruit skin warmed by the sun.
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.
Raspberry Tart, sugary berry with a jammy edge.

Narcissus Green, bittersweet and slightly narcotic, like bruised spring stems.
Carnation Spicy, clove-tinged flower with a peppery-sweet warmth.
Hyacinth Sweet, green and watery-floral, with a cool, slightly heady spring character.
Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
Tuberose Heady, creamy, buttery white flower with a rubbery-camphor edge.
Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.

Honey Sweet, waxy, golden and slightly animal-like.
Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
