Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Rose de Mai Softer, honeyed May rose. Expensive and unmistakably natural.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
