By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf and galbanum open with a pronounced green sharpness — cool, slightly bitter, almost cut-stem in character. It sets a serious, structured tone from the start.
The heart blends iris, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and rose into a dense but disciplined floral. Iris carries the most weight here, lending a chalky, powdery undertone that keeps ylang-ylang's creaminess in check. The green thread from the opening doesn't disappear entirely.
Vetiver and patchouli in the base push the drydown earthy and slightly smoky, while cedar adds a dry woody frame. Vanilla softens the edge without sweetening the overall profile significantly. This is a green, powdery floral with an earthy, rooted base.
