Notes

Top notes

  • Apple Crisp, juicy and bright, from cut green skin to ripe red flesh.
  • Olibanum Cool, lemony and peppery resin smoke, like a quiet stone church.
  • Leather Dry, supple and slightly smoky, like worn hide.
  • Basil Peppery, green and a touch anise-like, with a juicy herbal snap.

Heart notes

  • Coriander Citrusy, woody and a little soapy spice with a fresh brightness.
  • Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
  • Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
  • Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.

Base notes

  • Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
  • Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
  • Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
  • Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
  • Tobacco Leaf Sweet, dry, honeyed leaf with a warm, hay-like smoke.
