By the editors · 2 min readConstantinople opens with the soft heat of pink pepper over lavender and geranium — a combination that reads both modern and familiar, the spiced edge preventing the florals from sitting too comfortably. The heart introduces cypriol, an earthy, woody-smoky material that distinguishes this fragrance from a conventional rose-iris; it lends a dusty, faintly exotic quality without straying into oud territory.
Iris bridges the rose and the moss base, carrying its powdery note downward. The base of patchouli, vanilla, and moss provides the fragrance's warmth and depth — the moss here is structural rather than decorative. For evenings with texture and cold air.
