Pierre de Velay No. 9
Fragrance notes
Character
Pierre de Velay No. 9 opens with lemon and bergamot that provide a bright, clean citrus lift. The introduction feels polished and immediate, giving the fragrance a clear direction from the first moment it touches the skin.
The heart brings may rose and jasmine forward. The flowers add a soft, slightly powdery layer that sits comfortably between the fresh opening and the heavy materials waiting underneath. This floral pause keeps the composition from moving straight into its deepest tones too quickly.
Vanilla, benzoin, labdanum, and patchouli form a dense, resinous foundation. Ambergris, cashmere wood, musk, and cedar round out the base with a warm, woody texture. The blend stays near the body as it develops, yet the materials maintain their presence through a full day of wear without thinning out or disappearing.
The result is an amber, woody, and balsamic scent with musky and powdery facets. It suits bright, sunlit settings where the citrus and rose can breathe. It is a warm spicy and animalic composition built around a rose accord.
