By the editors · 2 min readLady of the Sonnets opens with bergamot — a clean, aromatic citrus note that positions the fragrance as polished and considered. The opening is brief but establishes a composed, literary quality consistent with the name.
Tonka bean, sandalwood, amber, patchouli, and musk build a warm, resinous base. Tonka contributes coumarin warmth; sandalwood adds creamy woodiness; amber provides golden warmth; patchouli earths and deepens; musk completes the skin-close foundation.
Lady of the Sonnets follows a classic oriental arc — bright opening resolving to a warm, layered base. The base is the composition's strength: dense, warm, and long-lasting. Best in fall and winter contexts where the weight of the base registers as indulgent rather than heavy.
