Fragrance notes
Character
Grapefruit and citron lead the first spray with a bright, sharp lift. Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian orange follow closely, adding a sunny roundness to the top. Ginger appears early and stays present as the heart opens, supported by rosemary and sage. Tunisian neroli brings a clean floral edge that keeps the spices from feeling heavy. Ceylon cinnamon warms the center just enough to give the herbs some depth.
Black tea defines the drydown with a dry, slightly bitter character that grounds the earlier citrus. Frankincense and labdanum add a resinous weight that feels calm and steady. Guaiac wood lends a smooth, dry woodiness that pairs well with the amber. Ambroxan sits underneath and gives the base a modern, slightly mineral finish. The transition from spicy herbs to resinous woods feels natural and well balanced.
A morning walk through a city market works well with this scent. Sunlight hits the pavement and the air smells of fresh fruit, warm herbs, and dry wood. The mood is active and open, with a clear shift from bright energy to steady warmth. Black tea and frankincense rest on the skin like dust and stone in a quiet courtyard.
