Realist
Fragrance notes
Character
Realist opens with lemon, bergamot, yuzu and pepper. The citrus is bright and slightly sharp, while the pepper adds a clean, dry lift. Petitgrain, black tea, cedar and rose follow closely. The tea note is steeped and slightly bitter, the cedar is dry and upright, and the rose is present but restrained, never turning powdery or sweet.
Vetiver, hinoki wood, incense, amber and immortelle form the base. The vetiver is earthy and rooty, the hinoki wood is smooth and resinous, and the incense settles as a thin, dry ribbon rather than a heavy cloud. Amber rounds the edges without making the blend warm or heavy. The scent stays close and wears gently through the day, asking little of the air around you and leaving no long trail behind.
It suits a bright morning walk through a city park when the air is clear and the light is steady. The citrus feels natural in that kind of air, and the woods keep the mood composed without weight. Immortelle threads a hay-like, slightly metallic warmth through the drydown, curling around the vetiver and the tea as the hours pass and the sunlight shifts across the pavement
