By the editors · 2 min readStar anise opens with a cool, slightly bitter licorice snap that immediately folds into creamy ylang-ylang, the two creating an almond-like softness without any actual nut listed. Heliotrope’s powdered marzipan texture lingers, bridging the spicy top to a heart of iris that arrives dry and chalky, scattering the earlier sweetness into a matte, cosmetics-powder veil. Iris dominates for hours, its carrot-root earthiness turning the ambergris base into a pale, salty skin-warmth rather than overt marine funk. The scent stays close, a skin-hugging haze that reads as clean linen pressed with vintage face powder, never loud yet persistently present. Quietly elegant, it favors collarbone weather and spring offices where subtle polish matters more than projection.
