Notes
Top: Galbanum, Hyacinth, Neroli, Bergamot
Heart: Iris, Rose, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Ylang-Ylang
Base: Oakmoss, Vetiver, Leather, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Musk
The fragrance opens with a striking burst of galbanum and green florals, creating a sharp bitter-green freshness that feels crisp, cool, and highly sophisticated. Hyacinth and neroli soften the harsher edges slightly, while bergamot adds a brief citrus brightness underneath the intense green accord.
As it develops, iris becomes dominant alongside rose and jasmine, giving the fragrance its signature powdery floral elegance. The iris feels dry, rooty, and refined rather than creamy, creating a restrained sophistication that contrasts beautifully with the sharp green opening. Ylang-ylang adds subtle warmth while lily of the valley maintains an airy floral transparency.
In the dry-down, oakmoss and vetiver create an earthy chypre base with soft leather and woods adding depth and structure. Sandalwood and musk smooth the composition slightly, but the fragrance retains its cool, dry elegance throughout the wear.
The overall effect is a green powdery-chypre fragrance with sharp galbanum freshness and refined iris depth that feels timeless, intellectual, and powerfully elegant, often associated with confident understated femininity and classic French perfumery
The overall effect is a fruity-leather fragrance with powdery floral elegance and warm woody-musky depth that feels intellectual, atmospheric, and highly refined, often associated with the scent of old books, polished wood, and luxurious quiet spaces.
