Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Heart
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
