Fragrance notes
Character
Steam rises from a cup of dark tea in a small wooden room where the windows are fogged and the air feels heavy with cold. Someone has just crushed fresh mint leaves over a bowl of tart black currant, and the juice catches the light like glass. A slice of yuzu sits on the side, its sharp peel brightening the air each time the door opens. The scent sits close to the warmth of the skin, clean and vivid, with the fruit feeling raw rather than sweetened.
The mood shifts as a piece of Cambodian oud begins to burn in the corner. Its deep, resinous smoke curls upward and wraps around the mint and fruit, turning the space darker and more private. Saffron adds a dry, golden heat, while Peru balsam brings a thick, almost syrupy smoothness that settles into the wood. Cardamom offers a quiet, peppery lift that keeps the air from feeling flat. The blend feels balsamic and metallic, with a faint animalic edge that makes the room feel lived in and real.
The door stays shut now, and the smoke from the oud mingles with the steam from the tea while the balsam and spice cling to the sleeves of a wool coat hanging near the stove.
