By the editors · 2 min readNarciss opens with bergamot and violet — a cool, slightly powdery citrus-floral pairing that sets a quiet, elegant tone. Ylang-ylang, heliotrope, black currant, and narcissus form the heart: a complex floral-green arrangement where heliotrope adds a sweet, almond-adjacent powdery quality and narcissus brings its characteristically green, slightly bitter floralcy.
Oakmoss and galbanum in the base anchor the composition in classic chypre territory — galbanum's sharp, green, slightly resinous quality blending with the earthy moss. Musk softens the close.
The overall character is a green chypre floral with a powdery heart and a mossy-bitter base. Structured, slightly austere, and distinctly classical in orientation — closest to vintage chypre conventions.
