The Serpent’s Orchard
Fragrance notes
Character
A lantern hangs above a stone courtyard where the air is thick with ripe fruit and crushed leaves. Tokaji wine spills its golden sweetness into the opening, joined by plum and the green bite of nettle. Fig leaf and fig tree add a damp, shaded canopy, while alba rose offers a soft petal brush against the heavier notes. The scene feels alive, as if the garden itself is exhaling after a long, warm evening.
Yogurt and fresh fig arrive in the middle, smooth and milky against the stickiness of honey. Myrrh brings a resinous depth that grounds the white floral lift of jasmine sambac. The composition stays sweet and lactonic, but the aromatic greens from earlier keep the air moving through the fruit. It is a space where indulgence meets the earth, and nothing here feels rushed or artificial.
Mysore sandalwood and amber settle into the stone walls, supported by musk and a quiet trace of muscone. Mace adds a gentle spark, while indole pulls the sweetness toward something darker and more rooted. The scent sits close to the skin, part of the courtyard's stillness rather than a voice calling across it. Green, woody, and honeyed elements circle each other without letting go.
The lantern flickers once, casting longer shadows across the figs and the wine-stained ground, and the air holds every note in a single, unmoving
