Notes, explained

Opening

Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.

Heart

Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Dry-down

Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
