Fragrance notes
Character
The room is warm against the glass that fogs from the cold outside. A heavy wool coat rests over a chair, and the air carries a deep green earthiness that feels rooted in damp soil. Patchouli leads immediately, its leafy and slightly bitter presence filling the space with a dark, forest-like weight. Orris arrives beside it, adding a refined powder that softens the edges of the leaves. As the moment settles, mimosa brings a gentle yellow floral touch, bright but quickly wrapped in the surrounding greenery. The scent feels textured and slightly old-fashioned, like a velvet curtain in a quiet library.
Below the surface, marshmallow lends a creamy sweetness that binds the powder to the earth. Civet adds a musky, animalic breath that keeps the air feeling alive and slightly untamed. The combination creates a thick, iris-heavy cloud that is both woody and distinctly yellow floral. It is a composition that sits close to the skin yet defines the entire atmosphere of the room. The green notes never fully fade, twisting through the sweetness and the musk until the final impression is a deep, earthy patchouli.
