The oil itself is mellow and woody, closer to milk than to dry timber, with a smooth hint of sweetness. It is the star here rather than a background note, so you will notice it at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlmond-milk iris\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuscan iris absolute is called almond-milk by the brand, which says it draws out the sandalwood's velvet.

Passion fruit brings tartness, peach and pear softness, raspberry and cassis a darker, juicier edge. Warm sand suggests a dry, sun-heated note, which should stop the fruit from reading as plain candy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLily of the valley\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLily of the valley is the single heart note, a clean, green-white pause between fruit and base.
