By the editors · 2 min readOpens green and slightly metallic: violet leaf and orange blossom paired with anise's licorice-cool snap. Rose adds a brief jam-like flicker that's gone almost before it registers.
The heart is where the scent declares itself. Iris arrives carrot-cool and rooty, supported by violet leaf's wet-stem freshness and a damp earthy patchouli. Lily of the valley keeps things lifted while cedar adds pencil-shaving dryness underneath.
The drydown belongs to iris and white musk, with guaiac wood lending a faint smoky polish and amber providing a barely-there warm cushion. Throughout, the composition stays cool, powdery, and slightly austere — a portrait of orris root rather than a bouquet.
