Alcove
Fragrance notes
Character
Alcove opens with a bright, brisk citrus blend where Italian lemon and Calabrian bergamot lead beside grapefruit. Rosemary and Guatemalan cardamom add a green, slightly resinous edge that keeps the start from feeling like a simple summer splash. The heart introduces cypress and fig, the woodiness of the former grounding the soft, milky fruit of the latter, while violet and rose bring a gentle, powdery floral layer that sits close to the skin.
The base rests on Mysore sandalwood and white cedar extract, supported by cypriol, amyris, Siam benzoin, myrrh, and amber. These materials create a dry, resinous wood profile that stays present through a cool morning walk or a bright afternoon outdoors. The benzoin and amber add a faint sweetness, but the myrrh and cedar keep the overall impression clean and composed rather than heavy or cloying.
Composed by Karine Chevallier, this woody chypre suits someone who enjoys aromatic citrus that develops into resinous woods without becoming loud. It fits days when the air feels fresh and the light is clear, making it a good choice for spring, fall, and winter daytime wear.
