Notes

Impressions & Texture

Top / Opening

Blue Water Lily, Egyptian Neroli, Carrot Heart  

Light, bright, spring-like. The water lily and neroli give a delicate floral freshness. Carrot heart adds a green, slightly earthy or vegetal nuance, cutting through the florals with a hint of root-like texture. The opening feels airy and luminous.

Heart / Middle

Maple Accord, Vetiver (Haiti), Peru Balsam, Cedarwood (Atlas & Virginia)  

The maple note takes center stage here — it’s sweet, gourmand, like syrup, but not just candy: there’s depth. The woods (cedars) and vetiver bring freshness and earthiness. Peru Balsam adds resinous warmth, a balm that tempers the sweetness. It starts to feel cozy, like the inside of a cabin or lodge with sugary air.

Base / Dry-down

Vanilla Bean Extract CO₂, Cocoa Shell (Madagascar), Castoreum Reconstitution, Sandalwood (New Caledonia), Patchouli  

The sweetness from maple is softened into a gourmand base — vanilla and cocoa give a soft dessert-like feel. The woods and patchouli add depth and lingering structure. Castoreum (synthetic reconstitution) lends a subtly animalic texture: leathery, slightly wild, reminiscent perhaps of fur damp from forest air. Sandalwood smooths everything out at the end.
