Moss and orris dominate the heart. The orris is the quieter star here: that cool carrot-violet powder layered against moss's damp earthy green, creating an iris-led structure that reads as much vegetal as floral. There's a salty-marine ghost in the air around the iris.
Sandalwood and patchouli ground the base — the patchouli earthy and slightly camphoraceous, the sandalwood creamy and dry, propping the iris up rather than smothering it. Overall the character is a cool earthy-iris-and-wood composition rather than a sandalwood-forward soliflore, autumn-leaning, evening or quiet daytime, restrained and slightly contemplative in mood.
