No. 3 is built on cedar and vetiver. Wearing a fragrance from this house tends to feel dry and grounded, with a clean woodiness that sits close to the skin. The aromatic character comes through clearly, creating a scent profile that is more about texture than sweetness. The powdery aspect softens the sharper edges of the materials, giving the compositions a smooth finish.

Alongside the dominant woods, there is a frequent presence of musk and amber. These elements add a subtle warmth without making the scents heavy. Citrus notes appear to brighten the opening moments, though the overall impression remains rooted in the earthy base materials. The combination of vetiver and cedar provides a consistent foundation across the range, resulting in a feel that is steady and understated rather than fleeting or loud.
