By the editors · 2 min readYuzu and ylang-ylang open together — an unusual pairing where yuzu's tart citrus brightness meets ylang-ylang's creamy, banana-tinged florality. The combination is striking and slightly dissonant, which seems intentional.
Tuberose, civet, and jasmine form an animalic, intensely floral heart — civet adding a raw, musky-animalic edge that amplifies the tuberose's inherent creaminess into something heavier and more opulent. Labdanum and castoreum in the base anchor the composition in balsamic, leathery warmth with real animalic depth. This is a full-throated vintage-style oriental with deliberate animalic character throughout — not for the faint-hearted, but coherent and purposeful in its construction.
