Fragrance notes
Character
Stephanie Bakouche built a fragrance that refuses to sit in the shade. The opening pulls yuzu and lavender into the same breath, bright and cool at once, with wormwood adding a dry, bitter edge that keeps the citrus from leaning sugary. Immortelle and oregano take over quickly, lending a warm, resinous herbaceousness that feels sun-baked rather than medicinal. Fig and iris soften the transition, adding a gentle fleshiness and a powdery lift that stop the herbs from turning harsh. The base stays close to the earth, layering hay and vetiver with the deep, golden weight of labdanum. It is an aromatic, fresh spicy composition that wears its green and bitter accords proudly, never trying to smooth its edges into something safe or universally pleasing.
This is a scent for open air and clear skies. Picture a late morning walk through dry grass with the heat already rising from the ground, the air smelling of crushed herbs and sun-warmed wood. It suits someone who enjoys the sharp clarity of lavender and the bitter bite of wormwood more than a sweet, crowd-pleasing blend. Wear it when the day is ahead of you and the light is strong, and you want a fragrance that feels as awake as the weather.
