Key Notes

What You Smell / Impressions

Top / Opening

Pink Pepper, Solar Salicylate, Incense

Starts with something peppery and slightly spicy, tempered by incense and a marine brightness (salicylate gives a kind of airy, skin-sunlit sparkle). Theres a salty edge that feels like ocean spray hitting your skin.

Heart / Middle

Black Ink Accord, Salty Accord, Opoponax

This layer becomes darker, richer: inky and slightly rubbery, with salt/sea influence. The opoponax brings in resinous warmth. The scent here feels like being under water, in a submerged ancient library, or looking at waves rolling in darkness.

Base / Dry-down

Ambergris (synthetic), Benzoin, Musk

The finish becomes softer, sweeter, warmer. The salty and inky tones fade a little, leaving behind a resinous, slightly musky, almost smoky / sweet-vanilla ambery glow. It lingers like a memory of the sea after the storm.
