Fragrance notes
Character
Artemisia opens this composition with a bitter, herbal bite that immediately pushes it away from soft, sweet florals. Cinnamon and bergamot follow, adding a bright, fresh spicy edge that keeps the start from feeling heavy. The heart brings cloves, rose, and jasmine, but the rose here is not delicate. It is dusted with powder and surrounded by warm spice, giving the flowers a dry, almost medicinal character. This is a scent that prioritizes structure over romance, wrapping the petals in aromatic smoke rather than sugar.
Cedar and leather form the backbone of the base, creating a woody, musky foundation that feels stark and architectural. The musk softens the edges just enough to keep the leather from becoming too aggressive, but the overall impression remains clean and severe. It evokes a quiet stone courtyard in the cool air, where the sun is bright but the wind carries a sharp, herbal chill. There is a distinct contrast between the citrus top and the dark, powdery dry down that keeps the wearer engaged.
Composed by Filippo Sorcinelli, this release stands as a testament to a bold, artistic wardrobe choice. It is meant for the person who wants to smell like literature and stone rather than a garden. Wear it when the air is crisp and you need a scent that feels as intentional as a tailored coat. It pairs perfectly with black clothing and a morning that requires focus and a touch of defiance.
