Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
Heart
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Dry-down
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
