Fragrance notes
The galbanum here carries a sharp edge that can feel almost medicinal. It cuts through the air with a bitter green bite that does not soften immediately.
You stand in a damp stone courtyard where ivy climbs the walls. The moss and earth accords cling to the cool bricks around you. Rose and tuberose grow wild in this enclosed space, their heavy white petals releasing a scent that feels thick and balsamic. The animalic trace in the air suggests a garden that has not been tidied, where nature pushes through the cracks.
Galbanum pulls the flowers back from pure sweetness, giving the scene a resinous, aromatic weight. The scent feels rooted in the ground rather than floating above it. It is a dense, floral atmosphere that demands you accept its untamed character.
That initial green sharpness remains present, refusing to blend completely into the background. It keeps the fragrance feeling a bit austere, even while the heavy blooms surround you.
