The Bug
Fragrance notes
Character
The Bug opens with a sharp green snap, where galbanum and elemi bring a resinous, almost pine-bright freshness. Black pepper adds a dry sparkle, giving the first impression a lively aromatic edge. As the scent settles, labdanum lends amber warmth and a balsamic depth, while sandalwood smooths the texture into something calm and woody. Tonka bean rounds the blend with a soft, warm-spiced sweetness.
It has the feel of a small green workshop after rain, with resin on the air and pepper caught on warm wood. The result is aromatic and tactile, balancing brisk green facets with a dark balsamic core. Its long staying power gives the richer notes time to hold their shape, so the drydown remains warm and grounded. Projection is close-range, placing the scent in an intimate circle around the wearer and making it easy to appreciate during personal wear.
The Bug suits green aromatic lovers who enjoy a firm herbal bite and polished wood. Its unisex character carries warmth with a crisp, textured feel. Wear it by day at a quiet desk or on an unhurried walk. Close-range projection keeps the experience personal, while long staying power supports the resinous drydown. Gourmand fans may find it too herbal.
