Fragrance №19
Fragrance notes
Character
Fragrance №19 is for the person who wants a spice rack in a bottle without losing the brightness of morning air. Alice Lavenat and Gerard Anthony built a composition that opens with bergamot and grapefruit, two citrus notes that keep the entrance sharp and awake. This is not a scent that hides in the background of a quiet room. It steps forward with a clear, sunny energy that suits a brisk walk through a park when the trees are turning color and the air has a bite to it.
The heart moves into cinnamon, pepper, saffron, and elemi. The cinnamon and saffron provide a warm, golden heat that feels like a thick sweater, while the pepper adds a necessary prickliness. Elemi bridges the gap between the fresh top and the heavy base, ensuring the transition feels like a gradual shift in temperature rather than a sudden change. The spices here are vibrant and active, not dusty or static.
Tonka bean, tobacco, honey, vanilla, and vetiver form a base that is undeniably sweet and rich. The honey and vanilla combine to create a sticky, golden texture that clings to the tobacco leaf, giving it a gourmand quality that stops short of being a dessert. Vetiver provides a dry, earthy anchor that prevents the sugar from becoming overwhelming, creating a contrast between the wet sweetness of the honey and the dry roots below.
This is a fragrance for someone who enjoys the contrast of a cold environment against a warm body. The citrus provides the illusion of sunlight, while the amber and tobacco accords suggest the comfort of a heated interior. It suits a personality that is outgoing and unafraid of standing out in a crowd, favoring a scent that feels both expensive and grounded in natural materials, a mix of the bright sky and the rich earth.
