A time-tested combination beloved by perfumers for generations.
Floral
Chinese geranium smells like a honeyed, slightly peppery floral with green undertones—imagine rose petals dusted with black pepper, then softened with a whisper of honey and fresh-cut grass. It's warmer and spicier than typical rose, with a velvety roundness that feels almost creamy on the nose. There's an aldehydic shimmer too, like the scent has been polished to a subtle gleam. It's sophisticated rather than sweet, with a gentle herbaceous bite that prevents it from feeling cloying.
Oriental
Somalian frankincense Orpur® smells like walking into an ancient temple at dawn. Imagine warm, slightly resinous smoke tinged with subtle lemon zest and a whisper of pine—but softer, almost creamy. There's an incense-like quality that feels both sacred and intimate, with a honeyed undertone that prevents it from becoming too austere. It's woody without being harsh, spiced without being sharp. Rather like standing near sandalwood that's been gently warmed by sunlight, with a faint medicinal clarity lingering beneath.
