MMXIII - 2013
Fragrance notes
MMXIII - 2013 presents a bright citrus profile built around bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit. These notes give the fragrance an immediate lift that feels clean and energetic. Petitgrain adds a slightly bitter green edge to the fruit, keeping the composition from leaning too heavily into sweetness. The overall impression is sharp and clear, with a focus on natural-smelling zest rather than candied peel.
Lavender and jasmine sit alongside rose and lily-of-the-valley to form a floral heart that is soft rather than overwhelming. The lavender provides a gentle herbal touch that bridges the gap between the tart top notes and the deeper base. Cedar and patchouli ground the blend with a dry, woody texture that prevents the white florals from dominating the character of the scent.
This is a straightforward composition that suits daily wear in spring and summer. It feels appropriate for office settings or casual outings where a polite, unobtrusive presence is preferred. Those who dislike prominent musk or heavy patchouli might find the dry texture less appealing. The scent settles into a clean finish dominated by white musk and cedar.
