By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum slashes open with bitter sap that smells like crushed stems and frozen parsley. Tuberose answers immediately, its buttery petals thickening the cut-green edge into a creamy white floral wall where jasmine and ylang add indolic glow rather than sweetness. Ylang-ylang folds a faint banana-skin nuance inside, keeping the bouquet tropical but austere, while orange blossom water lifts the cloud just enough to stop it from turning outright swampy. As the flowers relax, sandalwood brings a dry, pencil-shaving wood that drinks up the remaining latex, and oakmoss clamps down with a cool, loamy bitterness that feels like wet forest floor under heels; a wisp of ambergris salts the skin, extending moss and tuberose in equal measure.
