By the editors · 2 min readNeroli opens with a citrus-floral clarity that feels clean but not thin — there's a slight orange-blossom warmth underneath the brightness that softens any sharpness right away.
Iris anchors the heart with its characteristic cool, rooty character. Here it sits against myrrh and benzoin, which gradually pull it toward something warmer and more resinous. The transition is unhurried — the iris doesn't disappear so much as slowly sink into the amber base.
Amberwood, myrrh, and benzoin combine in the drydown to produce a balsamic, slightly smoky amber that feels dense without being heavy. The overall arc moves from fresh and floral to warm and resinous, making this one of the more deliberate transformations in a relatively spare pyramid.
