Clergy
Fragrance notes
Clergy opens with a bright lemon and ginger spark that settles quickly into a warm vanilla dusted with nutmeg. The heart brings jasmine and neroli alongside rose and geranium, creating a floral layer that feels airy rather than heavy. Frankincense enters early and stays, giving the scent a resinous lift that keeps the vanilla from sitting flat. Elemi resin and hinoki add a clean, slightly pine-like edge to the woodsy base, while cedar and cypress ground the blend with a dry, polished texture.
Amyris and oud provide a smoky, rounded depth beneath the brighter resins, and musk softens the edges without turning powdery. The overall impression is fresh spicy and aromatic, with citrus and white floral accents cutting through the balsamic woods. It suits cooler days and evening wear, feeling composed and deliberate on the skin. The fragrance smells like stepping into a sunlit wood-paneled room where someone has just opened a box of resin and fresh citrus fruit.
