Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
