Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Sichuan Pepper Buzzy, citrus-tinged pepper. Tingles rather than burns.
- Rosewood Soft, rosy wood. Gentle and slightly floral.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Star Anise Liquorice-like and cool. Sweet but not sugary.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
