Top notes are Bergamot, Pink Pepper and Nutmeg; middle notes are Mate, Chinese Jasmine, Jasmine Sambac and Guaiac Wood; base notes are Balsam Fir, Woodsy Notes, Musk and Amber. An illusive scent inspired from archives this unique perfume first created in 1892 was inspired by a Japanese princess who awed the Victorian court with her elegance. This woody chypre captures this mystical grace in a style for the modern day connoisseur. Green bergamot meets sparkling pink pepper and spicy nutmeg for a fresh and invigorating top, laced with a floral and smokey notes from Chinese imperial jasmine and mate tea. Hints of jasmine sambac and guaiac oil complement woody tones, whilst rich amber, fir balsam absolute and whispering musks form a sensual and warm base. A mysterious and complex fragrance.
