Our take

Psychoanalysis opens with a bright, slightly bitter spray of petitgrain and neroli. The citrus is clean and sharp, cutting through the air with a green freshness that feels immediate. It is not a soft or rounded introduction. The floral aspect of the neroli stays light, allowing the leafy character of the petitgrain to lead the way into the heart of the composition.

The center reveals tobacco and tobacco blossom. This is a dry, aromatic tobacco that carries a subtle sweetness without becoming heavy. The white floral accord weaves through the leaves, adding a delicate texture to the smoke. As the fragrance sits, the green and fresh spicy accords provide a steady backdrop, keeping the tobacco from feeling too dense. It creates a warm, intimate atmosphere suited for a dimly lit room.

Leather anchors the base, presenting a smooth and slightly animalic foundation. It connects directly to the tobacco, merging the two elements into a cohesive, masculine-leaning drydown. The scent remains aromatic and smoky as the leather takes hold, maintaining the green thread started by the opening notes. There is a consistent sweetness that lingers beneath the tougher leather and the dry spice, holding the various accords together in a steady, unfolding mix of citrus, leaf, and hide.
