By the editors · 2 min readThe opening shivers with ginger's bright sting softened by bergamot, but this brightness doesn't linger. Within minutes, galbanum's green bitterness cuts through, sharpening the tuberose that emerges at the heart. This isn't tuberose as white-petaled sweetness—it's rendered almost metallic, faceted by jasmine's indolic edge and that persistent green snap.
The base arrives dense and smoked: birch tar mingles with leather and cedarwood, creating something between burnt rubber and expensive upholstery. Sandalwood and patchouli add texture rather than warmth, while amberwood provides a faint mineral glow beneath the char.
The result feels industrial, deliberately austere. Where many florals soften toward comfort, this one maintains its cool distance—tuberose viewed through tinted glass, illuminated by cold fluorescents rather than candlelight. For those who want white flowers stripped of their usual romance.
