Notes, explained
Opening
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Hyacinth Cold, green, watery floral. Smells like early spring.
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
- Sage Dry, herbal and slightly bitter. Adds a grown-up, aromatic edge.
- Clementine Small, sweet and a bit candied. Very easy to wear.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
Dry-down
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Tolu Balsam Warm, sweet, slightly cinnamon resin. Rich and rounded.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Castoreum Leathery, smoky and warm. Adds depth and a bit of danger.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
