The Need To Fly
Fragrance notes
Character
The opening lacks subtlety. Pomelo and tonic water arrive together with a sharp fizz that feels more like a splash than a perfume, and the gin note leans into that sharpness without rounding it out. It can feel a bit loud and synthetic in the first ten minutes, especially if you apply more than a small amount.
Ginger pushes through early, bright and peppery, before the heart reveals a green, herbal slice of cannabis and a cool thread of absinthe. Marjoram keeps the middle calm and savory. Haitian vetiver anchors the drydown with a damp, earthy woodiness, while patchouli adds a dark soil note and leather brings a dry, worn texture that clings to fabric and skin through a slow, steady fade.
This is a scent for a wide balcony with the sun high and a breeze moving through the trees, a glass sweating on the table beside you. It suits someone who likes a herbal, slightly rebellious edge and does not mind a brisk start. It feels less at home in a formal evening setting or on someone who prefers soft, powdery florals. A garden path after a rain, lined with wild herbs and damp earth.
