IX Nine
Fragrance notes
Character
Italian mandarin opens IX Nine with a bright, juicy citrus that feels peeled straight from the fruit. Saffron follows closely, adding a warm, slightly metallic sparkle that keeps the opening from feeling purely sunny. Violet leaf brings a crisp, watery green touch that cuts through the spice with a clean snap. Chinese osmanthus offers a soft, apricot-like fruitiness that sits quietly in the background. Immortelle contributes a dry, hay-like warmth that leans herbal rather than sweet.
Akigalawood arrives with a smooth, synthetic oud impression that feels mineral and cool to the nose. Suede wraps around it, lending a supple leather texture that is present without dominating the blend. Patchouli adds an earthy, root-like depth that grounds the brighter elements above. Musk softens the edges, creating a gentle, skin-like haze throughout the base. Cedar provides a dry, pencil-shaving woodiness that lingers in the background.
The overall character is mineral and woody, with an ozonic lift that makes the air feel fresh around the wearer. Green accords weave through the composition, keeping the spicy and leathery facets from feeling too heavy. Warm spicy notes remain steady from the first spray to the final drydown. Aquatic touches add a subtle, watery clarity to the denser woods. The scent settles into a musky, leather-infused finish dominated by green and woody accords.
