Main Accords

What it smells like

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard.

It opens on absinthe, anise and fennel, moves through lavender, and settles on black vanilla husk and musk.

  • lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy
  • musk: soft, warm and skin-like. More the impression of clean skin than a smell of its own

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
