The opening is fresh, green and slightly sharp, built on galbanum, cyclamen and nettle. In the heart, lily of the valley, datura and solanum bring the floral side forward while the greenery stays present. The base of musk, patchouli, damson plum and tree moss sets it on an earthy, woody footing, with spicy and synthetic touches running through it. Michael Nordstrand is the perfumer. Its profile is close to Diptyque Eau de Lierre and Lengling Figolo.
