Notes, explained
Opening
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Papyrus Dry, smoky, papery wood. Vetiver's quieter cousin.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
