Notes

Top notes

  • Clary Sage Herbal, honeyed and faintly ambery, softer than common sage.
  • Incense Dry, smoky and resinous, like smoke curling through a stone chapel.
  • Lavender Clean, herbal and slightly camphorous, with a soft floral sweetness.

Heart notes

  • Ambrette Soft, nutty, musky seed with a pear-like and skin-like warmth.
  • Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
  • Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.

Base notes

  • Amberwood A warm, dry, woody amber with a mineral-ambery glow and gentle sweetness.
  • Ink
