Notes, explained
Opening
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Heart
- Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
- Cherry Sweet, syrupy and a bit almondy. Currently everywhere.
Dry-down
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Chocolate Sweet, dusty and rich. Can go milk-bar or dark-and-bitter.
- Driftwood Salt-bleached and dry. Wood that has been in the sea.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
