Fragrance notes
Character
Cassis and plum open the fragrance with a deep, juicy bite. Bergamot brightens the entry without making it sharp. Labdanum adds a resinous weight that signals this is not a light daytime spray.
The heart leans into rose, but the black rose note gives it a shadowed, velvet texture rather than a bright petal feel. Peony and freesia soften the edges while lily-of-the-valley brings a clean, green lift. The drydown is where the composition settles into its true character. Oud and patchouli create a dark, earthy foundation that feels grounded and serious. Vanilla smooths the roughness of the moss and cedar, turning the wood into something warm and slightly sweet. Musk wraps the base in a soft haze that blurs the sharper lines of the agarwood. The powdery facet sits quietly beneath the heavier notes, giving the finish a vintage, classic chypre impression that feels dressed and intentional.
Picture a heavy wool coat thrown over a silk dress in a dimly lit courtyard as streetlamps reflect off damp stone.
