It starts with bernamot, apple saffron with a dash of wormwood-davan and then unfolds like a spiral, adding a floral bouquet of Italian violet, geranium, jasmine, orange blossom, with the addition of leather, immortelle and oud. The fragrance is very bright, but not overpowering in its energy - it's such a delicate, carefully dosed brightness. The balanced multi-coloured finish is rounded off by notes of cedarwood, santalum, amyris, elemi, vetiver and patchouli. An iconic perfume that has become a comfortable modern classic for me. It's also just incredibly long-lasting!
