By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and basil open with a green, aromatic sharpness that feels both herbal and slightly citrus-inflected. Tuberose and narcissus form a narcotic floral heart, intensified by black pepper’s dry spice and galbanum’s bitter green edge. Iris adds a powdery counterpoint that tempers the floral intensity and leads into a complex base. Vetiver and labdanum provide an earthy, balsamic foundation, while opoponax and castoreum introduce a leathery animalic depth that lingers on skin. Projection is strong initially, contracting to moderate after two hours but maintaining complexity for over seven hours. Ideal for fall evenings or special occasions, it demands cool weather to appreciate its rich evolution.
