Fragrance notes
Character
A low sillage keeps this fragrance close to the skin, which means it will disappear into the air before a long day is through. There is no hidden strength to be found here, and a wearer hoping for a bold statement will be disappointed by the faint trail. The honey is thick and golden, mingling with a sticky amber and a dark, resinous Peru balsam. A tart white grapefruit and a bright bergamot cut through the heavy sweetness, stopping the scent from becoming a flat, sugary block. A dry artemisia and a green clary sage add a sharp, herbal edge to the middle, while a Turkish rose oil provides a damp, red floral heart. A creamy bourbon vanilla and a warm tonka bean smooth over the rough patches, and a dry oak tree anchors the blend with a dusty, wooden floor drydown. It feels like a heavy wool coat on a cold afternoon, when the air is crisp and the sun is low. The champagne note adds a strange, fizzy sparkle that feels slightly out of place against the dark, balsamic background. It is a dense, intimate scent that stays quietly on the wrist, refusing to expand or project outward. The scent is defined by a clash between a sour citrus and a heavy, sweet resin.
