Notes, explained
Opening
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Dry-down
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
