Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Heart
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
