Notes, explained

Opening

• Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
• Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.
• Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.

Heart

• Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.

Dry-down

• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
