Fragrance notes
Character
Red-wood opens with a cool, brisk rush of eucalyptus and bergamot that feels clean and immediately inviting. Juniper and star anise add a gentle, herbal bite that keeps the entrance from leaning too sweet or too sharp. The top notes stay bright for a short while before the heart begins to show itself.
Pimento seeds bring a warm, peppery texture that sits alongside the soft, watery petal of cyclamen and the classic green lift of lily-of-the-valley. Rose enters quietly and supports the florals without dominating them. The blend stays aromatic and fresh, moving through the middle with a steady, balanced pace.
Cedar and patchouli form a dry, woody foundation that feels natural rather than polished. Labdanum and suede add a faint amber warmth and a slightly rough tactile edge, while musk smooths the edges just enough to keep the base from feeling harsh. The scent stays near the body and remains present through a normal day without ever expanding outward.
The labdanum and suede combination can read as slightly dusty, and the musk sometimes mutes the clearer wood and spice notes instead of supporting them. This makes the drydown feel a bit flat compared to the lively opening.
