Ciel
Fragrance notes
Character
Ciel opens with lavender and violet leaves that feel cool and slightly green. The lavender carries a clean edge that keeps the violet from leaning too floral. It moves quickly into a heart where violet, heliotrope, and orris create a soft, powdery texture. Jasmine adds a gentle brightness, while guaiac wood and cedar give the center a dry, carved-wood backbone. The transition feels smooth rather than dramatic, with the aromatic top notes melting into a warmer, more resinous core.
The base is where the character deepens. Leather and frankincense bring a dark, smoky weight, supported by patchouli and cypriol. Tonka bean and vanilla smooth the edges without making the blend sweet. Sandalwood and musk round it out with a creamy, animalic finish. The overall impression is woody, amber, and distinctly powdery. It feels composed rather than loud, with a richness that suits a heavy coat and a quiet street after rain.
The person who reaches for Ciel wants a leather scent that stays close to skin and carries a violet softness through the drydown. It fits a cold evening walk or a dim room where the air is dry and the light is low.
