Description
Short for “I Don’t Know What,” this fragrance is intentionally abstract. Bergamot lends sparkle, while ISO E Super and vetiver offer a clean, woody blur. Sandalwood and amber in the dry down bring warmth, with a trace of synthetic civet adding intrigue. It’s a scent for scent’s sake—vague, airy, and compelling.
