How it smells

Facts only, until we've worn it.

We haven't put this one on skin yet — no scores, no measured numbers until we do. What the house publishes:

Top notes

  • Bergamot

    Citrus

    Bitter Italian citrus peel — bright, slightly floral, the classic opener.

  • Mandarin

    Citrus

    Soft, sweet small citrus — gentler than lemon.

  • Cardamom

    Spice

    Green pod — cool, camphorous, slightly citrus.

  • Ginger

    Spice

Heart notes

The next few hours
  • Jasmine

    Floral

    White flower — indolic, heady, slightly animalic.

  • Rose

    Floral

    Petal-rich flower — honeyed, green, sometimes jammy.

  • Violet Leaf

    Green

    Cucumber-green leaf with a metallic edge.

Base notes

What's left at the end
  • Cedar

    Wood

    Dry pencil-shaving wood — clean and sharp.

  • Sandalwood

    Wood

    Creamy, milky wood — soft and long-lasting.

  • Oakmoss

    Green

    Lichen — damp forest floor, inky and bitter.

  • Musk

    Musk

    Skin-warm base — soft, clean, radiant.
