Notes, explained
Opening
- Davana Odd and gorgeous — apricot jam, rum and dried herbs at once.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Opoponax Sweet myrrh. Balsamic, warm and slightly medicinal.
