Lumber
Fragrance notes
Character
Lumber opens with a sharp, almost medicinal bite that can catch the nose off guard. The artemisia arrives first, cool and distinctly herbal, rubbing against a bright, acidic grapefruit that feels more bitter than sweet. Beneath this cool opening, the lavender adds a clean, soapy edge that tries to soften the initial sting. It is a rugged entrance, one that asks for patience as the colder elements settle into the skin. The spices wait in the wings, ready to transform the atmosphere entirely once the initial harshness subsides.
The air shifts as the heart reveals its depth. Clove and cinnamon wrap around the fading citrus, bringing a heavy, warm spicy heat that feels like standing near a crackling fire in a wool coat. Saffron lends a leathery, luxurious texture to the blend, grounding the aromatic top notes into something far more substantial. As the evening settles, the base takes hold with a rich oud and patchouli partnership, smoothed by creamy sandalwood and a heavy blanket of amber and vanilla. It smells like the interior of a wood-paneled library filled with old books and heated by a stone hearth.
