By the editors · 2 min readSweet Morphine opens with bergamot — brief, cool, functioning as a clearing note before the iris arrives. When the iris settles into the heart, it's accompanied by rose, the two together building something genuinely elegant: iris's powdery, rooty depth against rose's warmth, each amplifying the other.
The base doubles down on iris: orris root runs alongside vetiver's earthy depth, patchouli providing structure, and heliotrope's almond-powder quality completing the accord. Mimosa from the general notes adds the softest floral warmth.
The result lives in the powdery-floral-earthy space with considerable skill. The name's promise of addictiveness is delivered through accumulation rather than shock — the fragrance unfolds gradually and stays long, the iris deepening with each hour rather than fading.
