BENEATH THE SNOW
Fragrance notes
Character
Someone pulling on a heavy coat before stepping outside into crisp air will reach for this scent. It suits cooler days when the sky is gray and the air bites at exposed skin. The wearer wants something that feels grounded and a little bold, not a light splash for a sunny morning.
Lingonberry and red mandarin open the composition with a tart, fruity brightness that avoids being sugary. Coriander and cloves quickly join to add a warm, aromatic spice that feels dry rather than hot. The base of labdanum and amber provides a resinous, golden depth that anchors the fruit and spice together. It is a straightforward oriental spicy blend that stays true to its accords without trying to surprise the nose.
The sour edge from the lingonberry can feel sharp if the wearer expects a smooth, rounded amber. It lacks a soft floral or woody bridge to connect the tart top to the heavy base, so the transition feels abrupt. The clove also sits prominently, which may overwhelm those who prefer their spices blended quietly into the background.
