Notes, explained
Opening
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Heart
- Mysore Sandalwood The legendary Indian sandalwood. Richer and butterier than any substitute.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Dry-down
- Tolu Balsam Warm, sweet, slightly cinnamon resin. Rich and rounded.
