As Above So Below
Fragrance notes
Character
As Above So Below belongs in the wardrobe of anyone who finds most lavender fragrances too polished for real life. The argument here is that Régime des Fleurs uses the flower to anchor a scent that feels pulled from the ground rather than arranged in a vase. Geosmin provides the dirt, musk provides the skin, and together they strip the lavender of its usual barbershop neatness. This is a composition that values texture over prettiness.
The jasmine does not float above the blend. It sits low, adding a creamy weight that keeps the earthy notes from smelling stark or medicinal. When lavender meets geosmin without a bright citrus to lift them, the result is a fragrance that feels enclosed. It suits a person who wants to smell like they have been walking through damp soil under a heavy coat, not someone chasing a clean linen impression.
Wear this when the air is cool enough that a sweater is necessary and the sky stays grey for most of the day. The powdery accord in the background fits that atmosphere perfectly, softening the sharper edges of the fresh spicy facets until the whole thing feels like a warm room viewed from the outside. It is too intimate for high heat and too moody for a bright morning.
The musk lingers close to the fabric, pulling the lavender and jasmine down into the earth whenever they try to rise. It is a study in keeping floral notes grounded, refusing to let any single element dominate the others, always pulling the composition back toward the soil
