Lacrima
Fragrance notes
Character
Lacrima arrives with a limitation that will decide who keeps the bottle. Its reach stays modest, wrapping the wearer in a warm halo that does not extend far beyond the body. That restraint means it will never announce itself in a crowded room, yet it also prevents the heavy materials from becoming overwhelming during close contact.
The opening pairs castoreum with pink pepper, creating a resinous, slightly biting start that feels animalic rather than sweet. Elemi in the heart adds a bright, pine-like lift that keeps the leather from sitting flat. As it develops, cypriol deepens the base with an earthy, smoky woodiness while castoreum returns to anchor the drydown in a balsamic, musky fur tone.
This composition suits someone who wants a leather fragrance that feels intimate and thoughtful. The resinous woods and soft spice create a scent that belongs in a dimly lit library or a quiet walk under bare trees at night. It is for the wearer who enjoys a bold, earthy character but prefers that others discover it only when they draw near.
It is a thick wool coat draped over a leather chair in a room lit only by a low fire.
