By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and clary sage open with a clean, faintly herbal citrus character — the sage adds a slightly camphorous, green edge that lifts the bergamot beyond simple brightness. It reads as aromatic rather than strictly fresh.
Orange blossom arrives in the heart with a restrained white floral quality, backed by lavender from the broader composition. Tonka bean adds a soft almond sweetness, while oakmoss and vetiver bring an earthy, quietly smoky depth that anchors the whole structure.
The drydown is where Notes reveals its character: mossy, slightly powdery, with warm vanilla and amber threading through the vetiver base. It is a considered, layered composition that rewards patience and wears best in cooler conditions.
