Top
Notes like: Citrus, aldehyde, pink pepper — the ten minutes that sell a bottle and tell you almost nothing.
Between the bottle and the skin, the climate always gets a vote.
As the world grows warmer, how a fragrance behaves in heat matters more than how it's described in a press release. I'm simply paying attention, and sharing what I notice.
Heart
Notes like: Rose, jasmine, saffron. Where a composition either has an argument or admits it doesn't.
Base
Notes like: Oud, labdanum, ambergris. The part that survives the afternoon sun.
