By the editors · 2 min readBasil and orange blossom open the bottle in a green floral lift, with apricot adding a fuzzy fruit warmth and galbanum supplying a sharp sappy bitterness that signals a vintage-inflected aldehydic register.
The heart is generous and old-school floral — tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, iris and narcissus woven together into a dense bouquet, the narcissus lending a slightly hay-like green funk that pulls the white florals toward something more challenging than pretty.
A classical base layers tonka, sandalwood, civet, frankincense, benzoin, amber, vanilla and musk into a deeply animalic warmth, the civet threading a furry musk through the resins. Overall the perfume reads opulent and retro — a heady tropical white-floral with animalic depth, sustained for hours.
