Notes, explained
Opening
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
- Rain Accord Wet pavement and clean air. Comforting in a way that's hard to explain.
- Petrichor Rain on hot stone and dust. The smell of a storm arriving.
Heart
- Mineral Accord Wet stone and flint. Cold, dry and modern.
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
