Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Iso E Super Velvety, transparent wood that fades in and out. Half the market runs on it.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Dry-down
- Mineral Accord Wet stone and flint. Cold, dry and modern.
- Papyrus Dry, smoky, papery wood. Vetiver's quieter cousin.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
