Fragrance notes
Character
Petitgrain opens the fragrance with a clean, slightly bitter edge that cuts through the herbal weight of thyme and sage. Lavender sits beside the African orange flower without softening it, keeping the entrance bright and structured. The citrus heart carries Amalfi lemon and grapefruit across the skin with a steady presence that does not vanish after a short walk outside. Lemongrass and litsea cubeba add a sharp lift that stays close enough to be noticed by someone standing near you.
Patchouli in the heart grounds the brightness without pulling the composition into heavy territory. Pine and oakmoss in the base extend the green impression so the scent remains present through a morning spent moving between rooms. Galbanum brings a crisp, almost crunchy leaf quality that keeps the drydown from feeling rounded or sweet. Tonka bean adds a gentle warmth that lingers just long enough to remind you the fragrance is still there.
The overall impression is a sunlit courtyard where herbs grow between citrus trees and the air feels alive with white floral steam. It suits someone who likes a fragrance that can be smelled without overwhelming the space. The herbal and woody elements hold the citrus in place through a long afternoon outdoors. The finish is a clear green accord threaded with lavender and pine.
