Tempus ludendi
Fragrance notes
Character
A courtyard table holds a glass of cold water while the sun warms the stone around it. Basil and mint push through first, green and cool, followed by bergamot and citron that brighten the air without sharpness. Lavender sits behind them, soft rather than soapy, and the opening feels like a garden caught between shade and light.
Cloves enter with a dry heat, joined by rose and French orange flower that keep the floral side restrained. Sandalwood and cedar give the air a smooth wood surface, while tobacco and cognac add a warm, slightly rounded depth. Vanilla and ambergris sit low, making the blend feel calm and composed instead of loud.
The herbs and woods settle together so the space smells lived in and quiet. A breeze moves through the leaves and the scent shifts with it, never fixed in one place. The glass sweats on the table and the mixture of green, spice, and wood keeps drifting upward
