High Heel White

By the editors · 2 min readLemon snaps open with a bitter-green edge from galbanum, cutting the citrus brightness with stem-like sharpness. Lily of the valley steps in early, aqueous and cool, its rain-soaked petals dusted by cardamom’s cool spice while iris butter adds a chilled, chalky layer that muffles the rose beneath. The heart stays pale: the rose reads as white petals rather than red, folded into iris’s waxen powder. Tonka and vanilla warm slowly, but amberwood keeps them dry, lending a blond-wood veneer that prevents confection; frankincense smokes quietly at the edges, and patchouli supplies only earth, no chocolate. Sillage stays arm’s-length for four hours before shrinking to a clean skin whisper, ideal for spring office air or cool summer twilight where you want quiet, immaculate freshness rather than statement.
