Notes, explained
Opening
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Civet Sharp, faecal and intense on its own. In trace amounts it makes florals glow.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
