Synesthesie

Mothers’ Instinct belongs to a range built on amber, woody and balsamic accords. Wearing a fragrance from this house tends to feel warm and rounded, with a heavy, resinous weight that sits close to the skin. The presence of ambergris and vanilla gives the air a sweet, slightly marine depth, while tonka bean adds a soft, edible smoothness.

Cinnamon appears throughout the catalogue, bringing a dry, warm spicy edge that cuts through the richer base materials. Bright citrus notes turn up alongside the heavier woods to lift the overall feel, preventing the balsamic foundation from becoming too dense. The result is a scent profile that feels consistently dark and comforting.
