II
Fragrance notes
Character
Norell II opens with a bright, sparkling lift from aldehydes that meets the sharp bite of galbanum. Mint and coriander add a cool, herbal edge to the citrus of bergamot. The heart reveals a dense floral core where Bulgarian rose and jasmine sit beside marigold and tuberose. Geranium brings a crisp green touch to the heavy petals.
The base is a deep, mossy chypre built on oakmoss and vetiver. Sandalwood and patchouli provide a woody foundation, while leather and civet introduce a warm, animalic texture. Amber and vanilla smooth the edges with a soft resinous glow. Musk ties the earthy and balsamic elements together into a rich, layered finish.
This fragrance suits someone who enjoys complex, vintage-style compositions with a bold character. It feels at home in a dimly lit room with dark wood panels and heavy curtains drawn against the cold night air. The air is still and quiet, filled with the scent of polished leather chairs and old books.
