Fragrance notes
Character
Morning sun warms the dry stone wall where gorse bursts yellow against the grey. You lean close to the blossom and catch the sweet, coconut-like breath of the plant, then straighten up to find your sleeve releasing a different story. Blackberry and raspberry tumble out first, their juice dark and slightly tart against the crisp air. Neroli adds a bright, clean lift that keeps the fruit from feeling heavy, while cyclamen brings a cool, watery petal note that mirrors the shade under the hedge.
As the breeze moves through the garden, violet rises with a powdery softness, dusting the sharper edges of narcissus and jasmine. Ambrette lends a gentle, musky seed warmth that bridges the flowers to the green, resinous touch of myrrh. Juniper provides a fresh, pine-like snap that feels like the needles crushed underfoot, and geranium adds a clean, leafy green ripple through the heart.
The base settles into the dry, hay-like scent of gorse fading into creamy sandalwood and a smooth vanilla. Orris root contributes a starchy, elegant rootiness, while oud offers a deep, woody contrast to the bright opening. Musk lingers in the background, tying the natural landscape to your skin.
Wear this while wandering a wild garden path before noon, or give it to the person who finds beauty in the tangled, sunny edges of the countryside.
