Notes, explained
Opening
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
