Fragrance notes
Character
Ylang-ylang and galbanum open the composition with a bright, slightly bitter green edge. The tangerine adds a small flash of citrus before the florals take over. Palisander rosewood sits quietly in the background, lending a dry, polished wood feel to the first minutes.
Jasmine sambac and tuberose form a dense, creamy heart. Lily and narcissus bring a cool, slightly watery facet that keeps the bouquet from feeling heavy. Carnation adds a clove-like warmth, while damask rose rounds out the floral accord with a soft, powdery texture. Oakmoss and patchouli in the base introduce a damp, earthy foundation. Sandalwood and frankincense provide a smooth, resinous smoke. Oud and amber deepen the profile, and benzoin and vanilla wrap the drydown in a sweet, balsamic blanket.
The air feels crisp enough that a wool coat is necessary, yet the sun still carries a little warmth. A garden path after rain matches the mossy, green character here. The resinous woods feel right when the light fades earlier and windows stay closed. This is composed by Prudence Kilgour. The scent feels elaborate and layered, with a clear divide between the sharp green opening and the heavy, resinous finish. It suits someone who enjoys a traditional floral structure built on a dark, woody base. The vanilla and amber ensure the drydown stays inviting rather than austere. It is a complex arrangement of white petals and deep resins that continues to shift across the skin
