Fragrance notes
Character
A walk through a damp garden in early spring brings this fragrance to mind. Osmanthus lends a soft, fruity floral tone that feels bright against cool air. The air smells of wet earth and gentle warmth.
Myrrh and orris ground the blend with a powdery, balsamic depth. Incense and gunpowder add a rough, smoky edge that keeps the floral side from feeling delicate. The scent feels aromatic and bold, suited to someone who likes texture over polish.
Marissa Zappas composed this unisex scent with a clear point of view. The mix of warm spicy and smoky notes creates a unique presence. The fruity softness can get lost under the heavier smoke, which limits its balance.
