The composition

The note pyramid

01

Top notes

Lavender
Licorice
Absinthe
Anise

The first impression — what you smell in the opening minutes.

02

Heart notes

Musk
Black Vanilla

The character — what the fragrance becomes as it settles.

03

Base notes

Black Musk
Vetiver

The trail — what stays on skin and fabric for hours.

Lavender meets licorice and absinthe for a dark, slightly bitter opening. Anise deepens it further, and black vanilla with black musk gives a heavy, smoky finish. Strong and night-oriented.
