Fragrance notes
Character
Basil and birch lead the opening, sharp and green against the bright lift of bergamot, Amalfi lemon, and mandarin orange. The citrus feels clean and direct, not sugary, with the herbs giving it a slightly rough edge that keeps it from leaning too polished. Coriander and cardamom step in soon after, adding a dry, warm spice that sits comfortably beside the soft floral touch of jasmine and the faintly rosy tone of palisander rosewood.
The heart stays aromatic and upright, the spices never heavy enough to crowd the lighter notes that linger from the start. Sandalwood and patchouli take over gradually, supported by the dry clarity of Virginia cedar. The patchouli here is earthy rather than dark, and the sandalwood smooths the transition so the base feels steady instead of sudden.
The woods hold their place through the day, staying present without pushing outward across a space. The scent remains near the skin, noticeable to the wearer and to someone nearby, carried by the same spices and citrus that opened it. It suits a bright office setting or a walk under clear skies, where the green and citrus notes feel at home in the open air.
The composition keeps its shape as the hours pass, the cedar and patchouli growing a little drier while the cardamom and basil stay faintly present in the background, the whole thing still
