Ironleaf

Ironleaf strikes hard and fresh. Bergamot and lemon cut through first, violet leaf and wild mint add cool green sharpness, and cherimoya gives a creamy, tropical fruit softness that stops the opening from being too severe. The heart is lush and a little wild. Orange blossom and jasmine bring bright, sweet-white flowers, while wild vine adds a snappy, leafy green thread that links the florals to the greenery above. Then comes the weight. Amazonian ironwood leads the base with a dense, dry hardness, backed by moss for damp, earthy depth, sandalwood for creamy warmth and patchouli for a dark pull. Musk and a little vanilla soften the edges so the finish feels clean and rounded. At 30 percent extrait it is a long-wearing scent with a confident trail, and a couple of sprays are enough. It suits spring and summer days, active outings, and anyone who wants a green scent with power behind it. Bottom line: a fresh, minty green-woody fragrance with serious depth.
