Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Davana Odd and gorgeous — apricot jam, rum and dried herbs at once.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Peony Pink, watery and slightly peppery. Modern and inoffensive.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Mate Dry, smoky, bitter green tea. Toasted rather than fresh.
