Notes, explained
Opening
- Cabreuva A soft Brazilian wood oil. Gently floral, like fresh-planed timber.
Heart
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Dry-down
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
