Capella

Bergamot and mint open the composition with a bright, cooling lift that feels immediate and clean. Elemi adds a resinous edge to the citrus, giving the opening a slight sharpness that keeps it from reading as simple or sweet. The first impression is crisp and transparent, with the green freshness of the mint carrying through the early minutes.

Lavender and sage step in soon after, softening the brightness with an herbal, slightly dusty character. Jasmine brings a gentle floral roundness that never turns heavy, while balsam fir introduces a resinous pine note that feels natural rather than synthetic. The heart sits comfortably between aromatic and green, with the fir adding a forest-like depth to the herbs.

The base leans woody and earthy. Patchouli and sandalwood create a warm, dry foundation, with ambergris and musk adding a subtle animalic skin tone. Leather appears in the background, faint and smooth rather than rugged. The powdery accord lingers here, tying the wood and musk together into a calm, grounded finish.

Wear this during long, sunlit days when the air feels warm and the windows stay open. It fits someone who likes herbal freshness to lead the way and wood to follow, without anything turning dark or overwhelming.
