Notes, explained
Opening
- Lychee Rosy, watery and delicate. Sweet without being heavy.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Mimosa Soft, powdery, honeyed yellow flower. Gentle and comforting.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
- Aetoxylon A rare Indonesian wood with an oud-like depth, but smoother and without the barnyard edge.
