Notes, explained
Opening
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Heart
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
