Nerfs d'acier
Fragrance notes
Character
Morning light hits the terrace railing while a cup of hot tea steams beside a bowl of peeled mandarin segments. The air carries a sharp green bite that cuts through the mild warmth of the drink. Galbanum pushes forward with a resinous, almost bitter edge, while bergamot adds a bright, slightly sour citrus lift that feels clean rather than sweet. Mandarin orange softens the opening with a juicy roundness that keeps the green notes from feeling too severe.
Steam from the cup rises and meets the scent in the air. The tea note sits at the center, dry and lightly astringent, echoing the bitterness of the galbanum without repeating it. A marine accord drifts in like a cool breeze from the nearby coast, adding a watery freshness that prevents the heart from settling into something heavy or overly herbal.
Below that, sandalwood brings a smooth, creamy texture that anchors the composition. Amber lends a gentle warmth that does not turn sugary, and patchouli adds an earthy depth that grounds the citrus and the sea. The balsamic accord ties the wood and the resin together, creating a calm, steady base that sits beneath the green and aromatic top.
The terrace door stays open, the tea still warm in the cup, the air around it filled with that green, aromatic, marine, citrus, and balsamic blend while the sandalwood and patchouli hold their place near the floorboards
