Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Basil Peppery herb with an aniseed lift. Culinary but wearable.
- Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
