104
Fragrance notes
Character
Bergamot opens 104 with a bright, clean lift that cuts through the heavier materials waiting beneath it. Labdanum and elemi give the heart a resinous weight that feels dry rather than sticky. Heliotrope adds a soft, powdery roundness that keeps the incense from becoming too austere. Geranium threads a green, slightly herbal edge through the center of the composition.
Cinnamon and vanilla sit close together in the base, warm and slightly sweet without leaning into a dessert profile. Benzoin brings a balsamic depth that supports the amber accord and gives the blend a smooth, resinous texture. Patchouli grounds the sweeter elements with an earthy, dark presence. White musk and musk together create a clean, slightly fuzzy finish that lingers on the skin.
Composed by Viola Pompili for ScentBar, this oriental fragrance carries a composed, intimate character suited to low-lit rooms and close conversations. The warmth of the spices and the softness of the powder suggest a setting where the air is still and the light is dim. It feels personal, worn for oneself as much as for anyone nearby.
