Cap Verde
Fragrance notes
Character
Bergamot and mandarin orange open the composition with a bright, sunlit citrus that feels immediate. Clary sage enters beside them, adding a dry herbal edge that keeps the fruit from leaning sweet. The orange carries a juicy quality, while the bergamot provides a clean, slightly bitter lift that cuts through the air.
Lavender sits at the center, soft and powdery, wrapped around star anise. The anise brings a gentle licorice warmth that never dominates, letting the lavender lead. A blend of citruses in the heart keeps the transition smooth, maintaining the open, airy character established at the start. Vetiver and patchouli anchor the base with earthy, woody depth, and musk smooths the edges into a clean finish.
Composed by Delphine Lebeau and Benoist Lapouza, Cap Verde captures a clear morning outdoors. It fits a man who prefers a crisp, herbal freshness over heavy sweetness. Wear it to a weekend market, a casual office, or any daytime plan that benefits from a clean, aromatic presence.
