Gantois
Fragrance notes
Character
The sun sits low over a stone courtyard where a wooden bench warms under a wool coat. A fresh spray of Gantois settles into the air as lavender and bitter orange drift upward, bright and clean. The citrus carries a sharp edge that cuts through the cool air, while the lavender lays down a soft, herbal bed. It feels like standing still in a quiet garden corner while the day begins to turn.
Geranium steps forward next, green and slightly peppery, wrapped around the dry lines of Virginia cedar. Patchouli adds an earthy depth that keeps the floral heart from floating away. The blend feels grounded and composed, as if the garden has been shaped by careful hands. There is a gentle spice here that moves through the air without overwhelming the space.
Benzoin and sandalwood rise slowly from the base, smooth and golden. Musk wraps the woods in a soft haze that feels close and personal. The accords of amber and vanilla give the scene a gentle glow, while the balsamic touch adds a resinous weight. It reads as a warm, powdery finish that sits naturally against cool stone and wool fabric.
Composed by Alexandre Becker Vieira and launched in 2018, Gantois belongs to a crisp afternoon walk through narrow streets, when the air is clear and the light is pale. It fits someone who enjoys a woody, spicy scent that stays close while moving through a calm, open moment outdoors.
