Ichnusa
Fragrance notes
Character
Grapefruit and lemon lead with a sharp, cold citrus edge that feels more like a breeze than a juice. Caraway and artemisia bring a dry, herbal bitterness that keeps the opening from leaning sweet. Orange sits quietly underneath, adding a roundness that softens the sharper peels without dulling them. Aldehydes in the heart give the florals a clean, slightly metallic lift that reads as modern rather than vintage. Lily-of-the-valley carries a cool green stem scent that pairs naturally with the cassis, which adds a small, dark fruit touch without turning heavy. Cedar in the base is pale and dry, more like a plank in sunlight than a forest floor. White musk smooths the edges without making the blend creamy. The overall impression is aromatic and fresh spicy, with the herbal and woody notes sitting closer to the skin than the citrus. It feels unisex in a practical way, suited to someone who wants a green citrus that does not turn powdery or warm.
The scent sits like a glass of cold water poured onto a stone terrace in the middle of a hot afternoon.
