Fragrance notes
Character
Yuzu and bergamot bring a bright, tart lift that feels immediate and clean. Pepper and star anise add a sharp, slightly fizzy edge to the citrus. Nutmeg and cypress lean into a cooler, resinous space that keeps the top from feeling sunny or warm. Neroli and ylang-ylang introduce a soft floral layer that never turns powdery. Rose sits quietly among the greens and woods, more petal than perfume. Palisander rosewood and vetiver ground the blend with a dry, polished grain. Oud appears as a dark thread rather than a heavy cloud, giving the center some weight without dominating the air.
The drydown favors wood and spice over flower and fruit. Vetiver and palisander rosewood take the lead, supported by a calm, steady cypress note. Oud lingers in the background, earthy and faintly medicinal. Nutmeg and star anise soften into a gentle, sweet warmth that avoids dessert territory. Pepper stays present in a muted form, more texture than heat. Rose and ylang-ylang fade into a pale floral haze. The citrus notes retreat, leaving the woods to carry the scent forward. It feels composed and still, with each element holding its place instead of competing for attention.
The overall mood suits a sunlit room with open windows and pale wooden floors. Light catches the grain while a cool breeze moves through the space. A single branch of cypress rests on a clean stone surface.
