Wow, it amazes me how much ambrette can smell like iris. This perfume opens with a waxy, vegetal, carrot-like quality reminiscent of iris. The citrus is mild but noticeable, giving a juicy, natural brightness to the opening.
Ambrette is truly the star here, it is a fantastic showcase of this note. In the drydown, it is joined by dry, nutty sandalwood, creating a soft, woody, skin-like trail with subtle pencil-shaving nuances.
Contemporary, versatile, and excellent on its own or for layering. Perfect for casual, everyday wear, neither overtly masculine nor feminine.
