By the editors · 2 min readStrip opens with a fleeting burst of bergamot before quickly settling into its true nature: a powdery, earthy orris root that feels both vintage and unapologetically modern. The ylang-ylang adds a faint tropical sweetness, but it's kept in check by the iris, which dominates with a cool, almost metallic quality that recalls old lipstick cases and well-worn silk.
The base is where things turn surprisingly grounded. Oakmoss and vetiver provide a mossy, green foundation that feels more chypre than lingerie drawer, while patchouli and amber add warmth without sweetness. The musk is restrained, almost austere.
Despite the provocative name and branding, this is a composed, somewhat austere fragrance that leans androgynous. It suits someone who appreciates the formality of classic perfumery but wants something with a subtle, knowing edge. More boardroom than bedroom, and all the more interesting for it.
