Fragrance notes
Character
Bergamot and lemon arrive with a clean, bright snap that feels like standing in a sunlit courtyard. The rosebay willowherb adds a green, slightly tannic edge that keeps the citrus from leaning too sweet. Cedar enters with a dry, pencil-shaving texture that grounds the opening quickly. Cassis brings a cool, dark fruitiness that sits comfortably beside the wood.
Patchouli here is earthy and damp rather than powdery, giving the heart a grounded, forest-floor quality. Cypriol and vetiver deepen that soil-like character with a smoky, rooty dryness. Tonka bean softens the sharper edges, while ambroxan adds a smooth, mineral glow that catches the light. Labdanum lingers with a resinous warmth that feels substantial without becoming heavy.
The overall impression is woody and aromatic, with the citrus and patchouli accords pulling in opposite directions that somehow meet in the middle. It suits someone who enjoys natural-smelling greens and resins more than polished, office-ready blends. The daylight setting fits the way the bergamot and lemon reflect off the cedar and vetiver, creating a bright path through the earthier notes that keeps shifting as the tonka and labdanum
