Notes, explained
Opening
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
