Fragrance notes
Patchouli and amber sit heavy in the base, and that weight can feel blunt when the rest of the composition stays so light. The cedar adds a dry woodiness that sometimes reads more like pencil shavings than a polished plank. White musk tries to soften the edges, but the result leans powdery in a way that may not suit everyone.
Lavender opens first, cool and slightly soapy, with bergamot adding a bright lift beside the orange blossom. Neroli and Italian lemon carry the heart, sharp and clean, while jasmine floats in without much presence. Galbanum pushes the green accord forward, giving the citrus a leafy, slightly bitter edge.
Cedar and patchouli anchor the drydown, though the amber keeps things warm rather than dark. The aromatic accord runs through every stage, tying the citrus to the wood. White floral notes drift in and out without ever taking control. Musk lingers in the background, blurring the line between fresh spicy and powdery.
