Composition

Top

Bergamot brings a sweet, fresh fruitiness, while grapefruit lends a fruity citrus freshness. Mandarin sparkles, sun-kissed and luminous. Blackcurrant cuts through with its greenness, with a sulfurous, tart edge.

Heart

Rose here takes on a warm turn, between honey and wax. Geranium, rosy and floral, extends the flower with sweetness. Citrus notes retain a tangy freshness that keeps vibrancy in the floral tier.

Base

Sandalwood, a velvety, warm wood, sits alongside cistus and labdanum, amber resins with caramel accents. Coumarin evokes hay and blond tobacco, vanilla a spicy sweetness, musk an animalic warmth, patchouli a damp, camphorous earthiness.

Wood and flowers

The woody character comes from sandalwood and patchouli, supported by the resinous facets of cistus. Rose and geranium carry the floral facet, softened here with honey and wax.

What the label declares

Several odorous components are declared: geraniol and citronellol, limonene and citral, coumarin, eugenol, linalool, farnesol and benzyl salicylate. Coumarin also appears in the pyramid, in the base, with its accents of dry hay, dry straw and blond tobacco.
