Fragrance notes
Character
Galbanum leads with a sharp, leafy bite that cuts through the air immediately. Bergamot and basil soften the edge without dimming the brightness. The scent carries well beyond the skin and remains present through a full day of wear, sitting clearly in the space around the wearer. Clary sage and rosemary take over quickly, bringing a dry, herbal clarity that lavender rounds out with a clean softness. Jasmine adds a faint floral lift that never turns sweet or powdery. The opening green notes stay active under the heart, so the fragrance feels alive and shifting rather than settling into a single mood.
Amber and vanilla enter slowly, warming the herbs without covering them. Vetiver adds a dry, earthy root tone that keeps the sweetness grounded. Oud appears in the background, giving a dark, woody depth that feels smooth rather than smoky. The aromatic and fresh spicy accords stay visible throughout, so the base never becomes heavy or cloying. This is a clear, structured composition that feels composed and deliberate from start to finish. It suits someone who likes green and herbal scents with a warm, woody foundation.
The whole fragrance feels like a sunlit courtyard surrounded by trimmed hedges and stone walls.
