By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a complex aldehydic citrus-floral — neroli and orange blossom layered with apricot's stone-fruit warmth, bergamot for sparkle, and clary sage adding a herbal edge. It reads as deeply mid-century in shape.
The heart is honeyed and slightly indolic. Tarragon threads anise through jasmine and ylang-ylang, while honey itself sits at the center sticky and golden, and violet softens the bouquet with powder. The composition is dense.
The base is unmistakably old-school chypre — oakmoss heavy and damp, leather and civet bringing animalic depth, amber and opoponax adding resinous warmth, musk smoothing the close. Overall the character is rich, powdery, and animalic — built for cool-weather evening wear.
