By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf and ylang-ylang open together — the violet leaf green and sappy, the ylang-ylang creamy and banana-warm. It's an unusual pairing for an opening, leafy-bitter against tropical-cream.
The heart is a four-way floral: jasmine, lily of the valley, iris, and rose. The iris dominates, cool and rooty, lending a cosmetic-powdered quality. Jasmine adds indolic depth, lily of the valley a dewy lift, rose a soft jam underneath. Aldehydic shimmer threads through.
White musk, ambergris, and patchouli land in the base. Ambergris adds a faint salty-skin radiance; patchouli earthy depth; musk fluffy clean. Overall character: a powdered iris-floral with a salty-earthy close, polished and slightly retro. Moderate projection, holds steady for several hours.
