Notes, explained
Opening
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
