Sepia
Fragrance notes
Character
Sepia shows a gap between its rich base and the lighter elements that sit above it. The strawberry and lotus offer a bright, watery fruitiness that sometimes feels disconnected from the heavier materials underneath. This split means the scent does not always move as a single unit, leaving the jasmine and cacao to bridge a space that remains slightly uneven.
The opening brings cedar and citrus forward with a clean, sharp cut. Mandarin orange and grapefruit provide a bitter edge that keeps the start from becoming too sweet. Coffee and cacao enter soon after, adding a dry, roasted depth. The heart stays busy with white floral tones and fruit, but the cedar never fully recedes, carrying the composition forward through the early stages.
Ambergris and labdanum build a warm, animalic foundation that holds the white tobacco and oud. The boletus edulis adds an earthy, savory quality that grounds the sweeter fruit notes. The scent stays near the body as the day progresses, wearing close through bright, warm weather. It suits a relaxed morning outdoors when the air feels clear. The finish is a deep, woody amber.
