Star Musk

Notes

Top notes

• Ambergris Salty, sweet, skin-like and slightly marine; a soft, glowing warmth.

Heart notes

• Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
• Cinnamon Warm, sweet and woody-spicy, with a cosy bakery glow.
• Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
• Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.

Base notes

• Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
• Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
• Opoponax Sweet, balsamic and slightly spicy resin, like warm syrup and incense.
• Benzoin Warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin with a soft balsamic glow.
• Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
