Fragrance notes
Character
Lavender and violet open this blend with a cool, powdery breath that feels like stepping into a shaded garden after rain. The flowers are soft rather than bright, wrapped in iris that adds a refined, slightly starchy texture. Matcha tea enters soon after, its grassy bitterness keeping the florals from turning sugary. White tea and black tea sit behind it, lending a dry, steeped-leaf warmth that makes the heart feel calm and composed. Vanilla is present but restrained, offering a creamy touch that supports the greens instead of dominating them.
Sandalwood and amberwood give the base a smooth, golden glow, while musk and ambroxan add a clean, modern finish that feels polished and close to the skin. The overall impression is powdery, green, and woody, with a quiet sophistication that suits someone who prefers subtlety over spectacle. It feels at home in a crisp air, surrounded by wool coats and steaming mugs, when the world slows down and heavy gourmands feel too loud. The tea notes make it feel intentional and serene, never cloying.
Composed by Chavalia Mwamba and launched in 2024, this is a thoughtful addition to the floral woody musk family. It carries a niche feel in its restraint, though the ambroxan does lend a familiar, synthetic edge that some may find less natural than the tea and florals promise. The vanilla and amber accords lean sweet enough that anyone who dislikes powdery warmth will likely find it too soft for their taste.
