Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Citrus Notes A mix of citrus peel with no single fruit named.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Orchid Creamy, sweet and slightly synthetic. A modern florals staple.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
