Vigor
Fragrance notes
Character
Vigor opens with wormwood, bergamot, and cardamom. The wormwood brings a slightly bitter, green edge that keeps the citrus from feeling bright. Cardamom adds a dry, dusty heat that sits close to the skin. This is an aromatic entrance that feels structured rather than playful.
The heart introduces cypress, cinnamon, labdanum, and lavender. Cypress pushes a resinous wood tone through the center of the composition. Cinnamon warms the lavender without turning the blend powdery. Labdanum adds a sticky, golden weight that pulls the middle down into something heavier.
Amber, leather, patchouli, and cashmere musk form the base. The leather is smooth and polished rather than rugged. Patchouli provides an earthy darkness that anchors the amber. Cashmere musk wraps the sharper edges in a soft, animalic blanket that feels dense and slightly dirty.
The overall impression is masculine and serious, built for cool air and heavy clothing. It suits someone who wants a traditional woody spice without modern sweetness. The wormwood in the opening creates a sharp, medicinal bite that some will find too harsh and unbalanced.
