Comme d’Habitude
Fragrance notes
Character
Comme d’Habitude opens with a bright citrus blend that feels immediate and clear. Lemon and bergamot provide a sharp lift, while mandarin orange adds a softer, rounded edge. The citrus does not dominate for long, as the heart introduces a dense layer of spice that changes the direction of the scent.
Cardamom and cinnamon take the lead among the heart notes, creating a warm and slightly dry texture. Chamomile and thyme sit in the background, offering a faint herbal touch that keeps the spices from feeling too heavy. This part of the fragrance feels steady and composed.
Patchouli and incense form the foundation, supported by vetiver and resins. The result is a woody, balsamic base that carries a smoky character. The accord is earthy and amber-toned, giving the fragrance a grounded presence that suits a person who prefers spice over sweetness.
The composition feels balanced, but the resinous base can become overwhelming in warm air. The intensity of the patchouli and incense may feel too dense for those who like a lighter finish. It is a specific choice that works well for some, while others will find the heaviness difficult to wear.
