Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Heart
- Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Cashmeran Musky, woody and slightly spicy. Velvety and very persistent.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
