Notes, explained
Opening
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Heart
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
