The Wild Man
Fragrance notes
Character
The Wild Man opens with a bright, juicy rush of citrus that blends Calabrian bergamot, mandarin orange, and grapefruit with the tropical sweetness of pineapple and melon. Rhubarb adds a tart, green edge to the fruit, while lavender appears immediately to give the top a clean, aromatic structure. This combination feels lively and uncomplicated, moving from sharp zest to a softer, fruity sweetness within the first few minutes.
Lavender carries into the heart, now joined by geranium and the crisp bite of black pepper. Jasmine and magnolia sit in the background, offering a faint floral softness that keeps the spices from feeling too dry. The composition stays firmly in the aromatic family here, balancing the pepper's heat with the continued presence of that initial lavender. It feels like a scent meant for a sunlit room or a walk under clear skies, where the air is warm but the mood stays active and alert.
The base brings frankincense, vetiver, and patchouli together with labdanum, tonka bean, musk, and amber. These notes create a resinous, woody foundation that carries the sweetness of the opening into a deeper, more settled space. The amber and warm spicy accords become more noticeable as the fragrance sits on the skin, leaving a rich, slightly powdery trail. It closes on the steady presence of amber.
