By the editors · 2 min readInouï opens with peach, lemon, and galbanum — the peach warm and slightly fuzzy, the lemon bright, and galbanum introducing a cool, bitter-green note that complicates the opening interestingly. Jasmine, freesia, and thyme in the heart develop a floral-herbal accord — the thyme's sharp, slightly medicinal quality giving the heart genuine character.
Oakmoss, civet, myrrh, cedar, and musk in the base build a classically structured chypre drydown. Civet adds an animalic warmth, oakmoss a dry earthy-green quality, myrrh a subtle resinous depth. The composition follows a vintage chypre blueprint: green-fruit top, floral-herbal heart, mossy-animalic base. Sophisticated and well-constructed.
