Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Black Tea Dry, tannic and smoky. More astringent than green tea.
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
