D: What a wonderful list of ingredients: bergamot, grapefruit, lavender and elemi on top – lavender gives a sort of leathery aromatic quality when you first spray it; orange blossom, iris, ozonic notes at the centre – love that iris is there – so classy; ambergris, oakmoss, patchouli, incense at the base.
