No.9 Darkwood
Fragrance notes
Character
No.9 Darkwood opens with smoke and charred wood. The first impression is dry and ashy, with a sharp edge that feels more like burnt timber than a campfire. There is no sweetness yet, only a dark, resinous clarity that sits close to the skin and moves quickly into heavier material.
The middle reveals dried fruits and labdanum alongside leather, vetiver, liatris, rubber, and peat. The fruit adds a concentrated sweetness that balances the rubber and peat, while the leather and vetiver keep the texture firm. It feels earthy and aromatic, with the floral touch of liatris softening the industrial edge of the rubber without removing it.
Tonka bean and oakmoss settle underneath and bring a mossy, amber warmth that rounds out the sharper elements. The overall impression is woody and deep, suited to cold nights when the air is still and the light is low. Someone who enjoys leather and smoke with a sweet, mossy base will find it at home in that kind of evening.
