Notes, explained
Opening
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Petrichor Rain on hot stone and dust. The smell of a storm arriving.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
