Fragrance notes
Character
Bergamot and lemon open with a bright, slightly tart citrus that feels brisk rather than juicy. The effect is clean and immediate, like a room aired out after rain. It does not lean into sweetness or candy, and it avoids the sharp bite that sometimes makes citrus feel thin. Instead, the opening feels composed and calm, as if the fragrance already knows where it wants to go.
Green tea enters beside hyacinth and jasmine, and the scent settles into a soft, leafy floral that smells more like stems and fresh leaves than a bouquet on a table. The jasmine adds a gentle white glow, while the hyacinth brings a cool, slightly watery edge that keeps the tea note from reading flat. It is a green heart that stays light on its feet and never turns heavy or cloying.
Ambergris and hay give the base a warm, gently animalic lift that rounds the edges without losing the clean green thread. The hay adds a dry, straw-like texture that feels natural rather than decorative, and the ambergris lends a quiet shimmer that keeps the drydown from going dull. It suits someone who likes tea scents but wants more character than a simple citrus refresh.
This fragrance fits a walk through a damp garden path where fallen leaves mix with cold air and the faint warmth of dried grass underfoot.
