Prélude
Fragrance notes
Character
Prélude is a daytime companion for the person who treats spice as structure rather than decoration. The opening pairs cardamom and coffee with a dry, almost architectural clarity. It does not lean into the sugary side of coffee. Instead, the spice feels deliberate, as if the fragrance is built to keep you upright through a busy morning rather than to wrap you in comfort.
The heart reinforces that argument. Patchouli and saffron sit beside Peru balsam, creating a warm spicy accord that stays grounded. The rum and leather in the base add weight without turning the blend dark or nocturnal. Myrrh and labdanum give it a resinous texture that feels natural and slightly animalic, never polished into something safe for a department store shelf.
Wear it when the day asks for focus and a bit of presence. It fits someone who wants a warm spicy scent that stays alert, not a fragrance that waits for evening to unfold. The coffee and leather belong in sunlight, on a street where the air is clear and the pace is steady.
