Notes, explained
Opening
- Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
