Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
Heart
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Watery Notes A clear, wet freshness. Less salty than a sea note.
- Ozonic Notes The smell of air before a storm. Sharp, clean, slightly electric.
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
Dry-down
- Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Orcanox A modern ambergris molecule. Salty, woody and very long-lasting on skin.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
