By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum opens with a sharp, resinous bite that immediately frames the composition in cool, bitter green. Styrax adds a leathery, slightly smoky undercurrent, so the top feels like crushed leaves on wet asphalt. Jasmine, iris and rose bloom together in the heart, but iris dominates, turning the florals powdery and almond-sweet while toning down jasmine’s indolic thrust. The base swells with creamy tonka, sandalwood and amber, yet heliotrope’s marzipan facet and a dusting of nutmeg keep the texture dry and fluffy rather than syrupy. Musk finally surfaces as a clean skin-scent veil, extending the powdery iris-almond accord for hours. Projection stays moderate, perfect for office or cool spring days when you want quiet complexity without announcing it.
