Notes
Top notes
- Mimosa Honeyed, powdery yellow bloom, fluffy and sun-warmed.
- Orange Blossom Creamy, honeyed white flower with a green, citrusy lift.
- Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
Heart notes
- Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
- Lily Rich, creamy, slightly spicy white bloom with a waxy fullness.
- Violet Sweet, powdery and faintly green, like candied petals.
- Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-tinged, custardy and sweetly floral, with a smooth tropical glow.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, dewy and green-white, like crushed spring stems.
Base notes
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
- Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor, bittersweet and slightly salty-green.
- Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
- Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
