105
Fragrance notes
Character
You want a scent that feels like standing near a bonfire on a cold night while wearing a thick wool coat. 105 delivers that atmosphere through a heavy patchouli and vanilla pairing that dominates the air. The opening hits with an earthy roughness that feels grounded and dark. It does not try to be bright or fresh. Instead, the composition leans into a resinous thickness provided by tolu balsam and labdanum. There is a powdery softness here too, courtesy of the white musk and tonka bean, but it never lightens the mood. This is a fragrance built for heavy fabrics and quiet streets. It suits someone who enjoys smelling distinct and prefers their vanilla to be dark rather than sugary. If you usually reach for clean citrus or aquatic scents, this will feel far too dense and overwhelming for your taste.
The cedar adds a dry structure that keeps the sweetness from becoming a flat line. It creates a contrast that makes the amber accord feel more architectural than edible. This is not a playful perfume. It carries a serious, almost formal weight that feels at home in a dimly lit room or a walk through wet leaves. The sandalwood and vetiver remain in the background, supporting the main players without demanding attention. It is a scent that wraps around the wearer like a second skin. The blend feels cohesive and intentional, merging woody and balsamic elements into a single statement. It is best for those who appreciate a fragrance with gravity. The final impression is a deep, resonant amber.
