By the editors · 2 min readPear and galbanum open in an unusual pairing — pear's juicy sweetness against galbanum's sharp green resin. The contrast gives the entry immediate tension, sweet-fruity meeting bitter-green head-on.
The heart turns powdered and refined: iris, narcissus, lily of the valley, and rose layered together. Iris dominates with its rooty cool-grey backbone, narcissus adds a hay-like green edge, lily of the valley keeps things watery, rose contributing the warmer centre. The bouquet reads serious and austere.
The base settles into sandalwood, vetiver, and musk — vetiver adding earthy depth, sandalwood softening with cream, musk smoothing the close. Overall character is a green-iris floral with a quiet woody drydown, projecting moderately and reading as a polished retro composition.
