aromatic, spicy, leather and musky

Notes

Aldehydes Sparkling, soapy, waxy fizz; like freshly ironed linen and champagne.
Artemisia Bitter, silvery herbal note, dry and slightly camphorous.
Coriander Citrusy, woody and a little soapy spice with a fresh brightness.
Clary Sage Herbal, honeyed and faintly ambery, softer than common sage.
Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.

Cinnamon Warm, sweet and woody-spicy, with a cosy bakery glow.
Carnation Spicy, clove-tinged flower with a peppery-sweet warmth.
Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
Geranium Green, minty rose-leaf scent with a slightly metallic, lemony brightness.

Leather Dry, supple and slightly smoky, like worn hide.
Honey Sweet, waxy, golden and slightly animal-like.
Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
Tonka Bean Warm, sweet, hay-like and almondy, with a vanilla-tobacco softness.
Oakmoss Damp forest floor, bittersweet and slightly salty-green.
Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
Civet Warm, intensely animal and musky, with an indolic floral edge that turns soft when diluted.
Incense Dry, smoky and resinous, like smoke curling through a stone chapel.
