By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and ginger open cleanly, the ginger carrying a slight warmth without becoming sharp. It reads fresh rather than spicy, and fades quickly as the composition moves inward.
Iris settles at the center, dry and slightly powdery, paired with tonka bean that brings softness and a faint almond quality. The two interact without either overwhelming — iris stays identifiable while tonka rounds off its cooler edges.
Opopax in the base adds balsamic resin and gentle sweetness, pulling the dry-down toward amber warmth. The overall structure is understated: a powdery-iris heart over a softly resinous base, with the ginger opener serving mainly as a transitional note.
