Fragrance notes
Character
Coriander and saffron spark immediately, but the heat here belongs to palo santo. The smoke is thin, not thick, and it sits right against the skin without reaching outward. Amyris smooths the edges so the wood never turns sharp. Bertrand Duchaufour built this for close wear, where the scent stays near the body and moves with body heat rather than projecting across a room. It feels intimate, like a second skin that happens to smell of resin and dry bark.
The citrus accord is quiet, more a bright flicker than a loud opening, and the powdery side of oakmoss keeps the wood from feeling too dry. Driftwood adds a salty, airy touch that prevents the sandalwood from becoming heavy. This is a fragrance for someone who wants to smell composed without announcing the fact. It suits office days and low-key dinners, especially in spring or autumn when the air is cool enough to let resin breathe.

The moderate endurance means it will sit comfortably for a while, then fade gently without demanding a top-up. The coriander lingers in the background, twisting the smoke into something
