Note glossary
- Oud
- Resinous heartwood from agarwood trees. Smoky, deep and long-lasting.
- Bergamot
- A Calabrian citrus, brighter and more floral than lemon. The classic opening note.
- Amber
- A warm accord of labdanum, benzoin and vanilla. Glowing and cosy.
- Iris
- Powdery and elegant; the root takes three years to dry before it can be used.
- Vetiver
- An earthy, slightly smoky grass root. Fresh and grounding.
- Tonka bean
- Smells like almond, vanilla and hay. Adds a soft, sweet trail.
Make it last
- 01
Apply to pulse points
Wrists, neck and behind the ears warm the scent and help it project.
- 02
Don't rub your wrists
Friction breaks down the top notes faster. Spray and let it dry.
- 03
Moisturise first
Perfume clings longer to hydrated skin. An unscented lotion works best.
- 04
Store it cool and dark
Light and heat change a fragrance over time. Keep bottles out of the bathroom.
