By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum opens alone at the top, sharp and bitter green, evoking crushed leaves and stems with no fruit or citrus to soften the entry. The first seconds are confidently unfriendly in the best green-chypre tradition.
Bulgarian rose enters the heart with a deep, jammy floral that balances the galbanum's edge. The rose feels old-world and heavy, holding its weight against the green opening rather than yielding to it.
Oakmoss, Mysore sandalwood, and patchouli build a classic chypre base — the moss damp and earthy, the sandalwood creamy, the patchouli adding a quiet camphor-cocoa warmth. The dry-down is the recognisable galbanum-rose-chypre triangle, polished and serious. A grown-up structure with strong projection.
