Narcissus Rose
Fragrance notes
Galbanum slices through the first moments with a crisp, bitter green edge. Ylang-ylang arrives alongside it, softening the sharpness with a creamy yellow flower tone. The opening feels deliberate and structured rather than lush.
Narcissus takes over with a deep, slightly indolic weight that anchors the heart. Rose oil lends a rich, resinous floral facet rather than a fresh petal scent. Jasmine floats above, adding a white floral brightness that keeps the composition from feeling too heavy. Patchouli and oakmoss ground the base with earthy depth. Sandalwood gives a smooth, creamy texture, while musk and smoke wrap the flowers in a warm, animalic haze. The drydown is dense and layered, moving between woody warmth and a faintly dirty green earthiness.
This is a chypre for someone who enjoys florals with dirt under their nails. It suits cooler weather and evening wear, offering a bold statement for those who find clean scents boring. It will likely overwhelm anyone who prefers light, transparent citrus or airy aquatics. A walk through a damp greenhouse where the soil is dark and the heavy blooms hang low in the humid air.
