By the editors · 2 min readPeach, galbanum, and bergamot open in a strange and striking trio — galbanum's green sap-bitterness against peach's fuzzy sweetness, bergamot brightening the seam between them. The top reads vintage-floral, faintly nostalgic.
Rosewood, jasmine, ylang-ylang, thyme, and rose form a dense middle. Jasmine and ylang push the white-yellow floral side, thyme injects a clean herbal lift, rosewood adds creamy depth. The bouquet is full-bodied without quite tipping into powerhouse territory.
Moss, sandalwood, ambergris, vanilla, and musk close the composition with a chypre-leaning floor. Moss leads the drydown, dry and faintly leathery, with sandalwood and vanilla adding warmth. The whole arc reads as a green-floral chypre, structured and grown-up.
