Notes, explained
Opening
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
