Lavs Christmas Edition 2023
Fragrance notes
Character
A narrow stone courtyard sits quiet under a sky that has just lost its last light. Someone stands near a wooden bench, hands warm around a cup, while the air carries black pepper and cardamom in quick, bright bursts. Jasmine softens the opening with a clean floral lift that keeps the spices from feeling dry. The scene feels still and deliberate, the kind of evening where every small detail registers clearly.
Elemi and coriander unfold next, resinous and green against the steady heat of cloves. Labdanum brings a golden weight that settles into the fabric of a wool coat. The air grows richer as tonka bean and opoponax add a smooth, balsamic sweetness, while palisander rosewood and oakmoss ground the blend with a dark woody texture. Amber ties the notes together so the warmth feels complete rather than heavy.
The person in this courtyard enjoys scents that feel crafted and a bit solemn, drawn to resin and wood more than to bright citrus or sheer musk. A night with friends around a long table, or a walk through cold streets when the air is crisp, gives this fragrance the space it needs. Wear it when the evening asks for something deep, aromatic, and unapologetically warm.
