Notes, explained

Opening

• Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Heart

• Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
• Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.

Dry-down

• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
