Guitare
Fragrance notes
Character
Guitare opens with a clear jasmine note that feels fresh rather than soapy. It does not stay bright for long. The heart brings cashmere wood and orris, which soften the white floral edge and pull the scent toward something creamier. Tonka bean adds a gentle sweetness that prepares the ground for the base. This is not a light, breezy floral that vanishes into the air. It is a warm, resinous blend that wraps around the wearer like a thick scarf on a cool morning. The mood is intimate and slightly solemn, suited to quiet streets and heavy coats rather than open windows and bright sun.
The vanilla and amber here are deep and golden, supported by myrrh and a steady thread of incense. That smoky accord gives the fragrance a faintly churchy character without turning sharp or medicinal. The balance leans balsamic, so the overall impression is smooth and slightly sticky, like resin on skin. It feels more handmade than polished, which gives it charm but also makes the synthetic edges of the jasmine more noticeable once the heavier notes settle in.
Guitare suits someone who enjoys amber and vanilla but wants a floral lift at the start. It carries a distinct personality that stands apart from cleaner, more commercial releases. The one drawback is the jasmine, which can read a bit thin and chemical against the rich base. That contrast never fully resolves, leaving a small gap between the opening and the drydown.
