Fragrance notes
Character
Cypress and bergamot open with a crisp, resinous lift that feels clean rather than sharp. Lavender sits beside them without turning soapy, keeping the entrance bright and unmistakably aromatic. It is a fresh start that signals something greener and more textured is coming.
Tobacco and fir take over with a cool, needle-like depth. Hyacinth adds a watery green edge that keeps the heart from feeling heavy. The blend stays dry and woody, never leaning into the sticky sweetness that often follows tobacco in similar compositions.
Darjeeling black tea defines the drydown. It brings a steeped, slightly tannic bitterness that pairs beautifully with palisander rosewood. Jasmine appears as a soft white floral haze, never loud or heady. The tea and wood together create a calm, meditative finish that feels natural and composed.
This is a fragrance for someone who enjoys sitting quietly in a wooden pavilion while rain hits the surrounding cypress trees and a cup of tea slowly cools on the bench.
