Woody Lavender
Fragrance notes
Character
A man leans against a brick wall outside a cafe as the sun cuts through a crisp, overcast sky. He is wearing a charcoal coat with the collar turned up, hands tucked into his pockets, watching the traffic without impatience. Around him, the air smells of rain-washed pavement and the sharp, sweet bite of grapefruit and pear, brightening the cool air. As a car passes, a thread of lavender and coffee rises from his sleeve, mixing with the scent of damp wool and dry tobacco. It is a smell that suggests a morning that started early and a day that will run late. Down close to the skin, there is a roughness to it. The clary sage and ginger feel green and prickly, while the suede and cypriol in the base give the fragrance a dark, forested weight that pulls the bright opening down to earth. You can pick out the vanilla and spun sugar if you look for them, but they are muted, acting as a soft blur behind the oud and the dry, gray smoke that smells of burning leaves. It sits on him like a second layer of fabric, shifting between the sour green of the apple and the deep, resinous amber and oakmoss that ground the whole composition. The scent changes as the wind picks up, revealing a salty, marine freshness that keeps the heavy woods from feeling too dense or封闭式.
