Fragrance notes
Character
Black pepper opens the fragrance with a sharp, biting heat that feels immediate. The oud in the heart carries a dry, resinous woodiness that avoids the medicinal sharpness found in heavier compositions. Patchouli and oakmoss form a base that is damp and deeply green.
Leaves gather in damp corners where stone stays cool and the air feels heavy with rain. The scent fits a coat thrown over a sweater and the quiet of a street after a storm. It feels grounded, like walking through a garden where the soil is visible between the roots.
The blend stays earthy and mossy throughout. There is a balsamic warmth that wraps around the woody structure without making it sweet. It is a dry fragrance, leaning into spice and forest floor rather than comfort or softness. The final impression is a mix of oud and patchouli.
