Notes, explained
Opening
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
- Sichuan Pepper Buzzy, citrus-tinged pepper. Tingles rather than burns.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
