By the editors · 2 min readA green-floral opening — galbanum's sappy bitterness pulled tight against bergamot and neroli — gives way to a quietly powdered floral heart of iris, rose, and orange blossom. Violet appears in the base as a soft echo of the iris, both keeping the composition cool rather than sweet.
Sandalwood and cedar provide a dry, almost paper-fibered woodiness; iso E super does its usual work of hazy diffusion behind the sharper materials; vetiver adds a green-earth thread that ties back to the galbanum at the start. Restrained, modern, slightly austere — a perfume that prefers daylight and quiet rooms.
