Amanu
Blood orange opens bright and juicy, its citrus oil cutting through galbanum’s sharp, crushed-leaf bitterness to create a tart green flash that feels like snapping a twig in wet undergrowth.

By the editors · 2 min readBlood orange opens bright and juicy, its citrus oil cutting through galbanum’s sharp, crushed-leaf bitterness to create a tart green flash that feels like snapping a twig in wet undergrowth. Magnolia arrives quickly, adding a cool, waxy creaminess that softens the green edge without erasing it, keeping the heart airy rather than sweet. Amberwood steers the base toward dry, resinous wood shavings, while moss reintroduces the galbanum’s earthy dampness and musk blurs the seams so the scent stays close. Over two hours the orange fades to a whisper, leaving a clean, sun-bleached driftwood impression that clings to cotton an arm-length away; it reads smartest in spring office air or a cool summer morning.
