Clean, cutting, and sharp - this fragrance cuts through the olfactory like a sword. The silver musk is the most apparent note straight out of the bottle, and as it dries down the chilled white tea aspect comes forward, then the sweet amber-y aspect of the ambergris. There is a slight floral note to it once it dries down that I think might be the blue lotus. Overall, this is super clean and makes me think of a pure white beam of light.
