Bergamot & Clove Bud
Fragrance notes
Character
The opening is sharp and medicinal. The kaffir lime and citrus leaves carry a bitter edge that can feel abrasive on first spray. It is not a smooth welcome.
Sunlight hits a stone courtyard where bergamot oils have been spilled near a pile of fresh spices. The air is warm but the breeze keeps it bright. Cinnamon and nutmeg sit beside those citrus notes without overwhelming them.
Chinese medicinal herbs add a dry, slightly bitter green thread through the heart. Frankincense and benzoin bring a resinous weight that grounds the blend. Oud and saffron add a dark, rich texture to the base.
The scent feels niche and unpolished in a way that will appeal to those tired of safe mainstream releases. It suits someone who enjoys aromatic bitterness with their spice. It keeps shifting between the fresh top and the heavy resins
