READING THE COMPOSITION
Understand this fragrance.
Tea does not mean an added drink
Fig, black tea and cardamom essence appear in the published opening. The tea note provides a route towards other compositions declaring it; it does not mean that a prepared infusion enters the formula unchanged. During sampling, compare your tea vocabulary with the words you choose for fig and spice. The black tea, green tea and mate guide then helps keep those different search categories distinct rather than treating every tea reference as equivalent.
Two internal sources describe the heart
The table names iris absolute and Bourbon vetiver in the heart. The creation commentary explicitly adds Cistus essential oil to that stage. Preserving the second evidence location explains why the profile contains a detail missing from the short table. Iris is more than a flower drawn on a pyramid: its extraction is named, just as vetiver carries the Bourbon qualifier, without inventing the relative proportions of either material.
Compare companions rather than one word
Indian sandalwood and tonka bean absolute form the published base. Iris Poudre offers another iris route with sandalwood, musk and tonka in its own structure. Divine Vanille moves the question towards another absolute and its balsamic companions. On a blotter, first choose the contrast that interests you: tea and spice, iris and woods, or tonka and sandalwood. The list then becomes a guide to attention rather than a guaranteed sensory description.
