By the editors · 2 min readBasil and galbanum cut through immediately with a sharp, cold-green edge. Lime and lemon sharpen the opening further while orange blossom adds a brief brightness before the greenness dominates.
The heart opens on a full chypre-style floral — jasmine, violet, lily of the valley, and ylang-ylang handled together feel lush but held in check by a persistent herbal undertone from sage. Freesia keeps the middle from becoming heavy.
Oakmoss, vetiver, and iris anchor the base in a dry, earthy chypre structure. Styrax and amber add a small amount of resinous depth, but the overall character stays green and brisk throughout. A cool, structured floral-chypre.
