Notes, explained

Opening

• Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
• Quince Tart, floral apple-pear. Crisp and slightly perfumey.

Heart

• Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
• Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.

Dry-down

• Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
• White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
