By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain, orange, and lemon open with clean, zesty brightness — citrus that leans woody and slightly bitter rather than sweet. The contrast sharpens quickly as ylang-ylang and damask rose assert themselves in the heart, floral and slightly heady, softened by iris that adds a cool powder to the mix.
The base is dense: sandalwood, patchouli, benzoin, and vanilla layer into a warm, resinous foundation with ambergris lending a diffusive, skin-close quality. Benzoin and vanilla push the drydown toward balsamic sweetness, while patchouli adds an earthy note that keeps it grounded.
The result is a citrus-floral that deepens considerably over time — fresh at launch, warm and oriental at the finish.
