By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens cleanly but briefly, quickly giving way to a complex floral heart where iris, rose, and ylang-ylang overlap. The galbanum injects a cold, green sharpness that prevents the florals from settling into comfort.
Honey moves through the heart into the base — not cloying but slightly waxy, interacting with the iris to produce something faintly powdery and animalic at the same time. The leather note arrives alongside oakmoss and vetiver, dry and mossy rather than slick.
Sandalwood and patchouli hold the base together with quiet persistence. This is a structured, chypre-adjacent construction — earthy, leathered, and animalic with a floral spine. Dry skin weather suits it well.
