1917
Fragrance notes
Character
1917 opens with Calabrian bergamot, citron, and orange blossom that give a bright, slightly tart citrus impression. Nutmeg adds a gentle heat that keeps the fruit from feeling flat, while peach rounds the edges with a soft, low-sugar sweetness. The top feels clean and aromatic rather than candied, moving quickly into the heart without losing its clarity.
The middle develops Tunisian neroli and jasmine sambac alongside Moroccan rose and lilac. Indonesian patchouli leaf anchors the flowers with an earthy depth, and carnation brings a faint spicy dryness that prevents the floral side from becoming too lush. The composition stays balanced between fresh and grounded, with the green, mossy character of oakmoss and black spruce entering early to guide the transition. Labdanum and styrax add a resinous weight that builds slowly through the heart.
Civet and musk sit beneath the resins to create a warm, animalic base that feels traditional rather than modern. The fragrance suits a courtyard dinner under string lights or a walk through a garden after rain, where cool air meets warm skin. It carries the same presence in a bright morning market or a dim winter room with windows fogged from the cold outside. The resin and moss continue to wrap around the remaining citrus and florals
