Notes, explained

Opening

• Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.

Heart

• Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
• Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
• Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.

Dry-down

• Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
• Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
