Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Heart
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
