Notes, explained
Opening
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
