Notes, explained
Opening
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Heart
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
