Sweet William

Sweet William opens with a sharp bite of cinnamon wood and white pepper, cardamom's warmth threading underneath, before tobacco blossom and rose water emerge with powdery softness. The floral heart—ylang-ylang and fringed pink—leans creamy rather than sharp, balanced against the tobacco's dry, slightly herbal pull. Styrax and Tuscan iris anchor the drydown, their earthy, almost woody quality tempering vanilla absolute's sweetness into something resinous and skin-warm, ambrarome adding a subtle amber glow as the spice fades to dusky florals and dry iris root.
