By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and galbanum open with a sharp, slightly resinous brightness that lifts the iris and violet before they fully settle. There is an herbal edge here, green and a little cold, that keeps the floral opening from feeling purely decorative.
Rose moves into the center quietly, cushioned by the iris rather than competing with it. Violet adds a soft, root-like depth rather than sweetness. The composition stays structured and dry throughout its development.
Oakmoss pulls the base toward an earthy, chypre character while patchouli and amber add modest warmth without tipping into sweetness. The overall effect is formal and cool — a dry floral anchored in green-mossy terrain.
