Notes, explained
Opening
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
Heart
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Dry-down
- Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
- Clean Musk Fresh laundry and soap. Safe and universally liked.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
