By the editors · 2 min readTarragon and bergamot open with a herbal-citrus sharpness that is unusual and slightly green before freesia softens the edges. The transition into the heart brings orris, jasmine, and ylang-ylang — a dense, powdery floral core with honey threading through it, adding warmth without heaviness.
Castoreum in the base introduces a subtle animalic undercurrent that gives the composition its character — not loud, but enough to shift the florals away from the expected. Benzoin and sandalwood round this out with a smooth, balsamic warmth.
The overall effect is a classic powdery floral with an herbal opening and an animalic edge — structured and quietly complex rather than modern or linear.
