Semi-Bespoke No. 22
Fragrance notes
Character
A single spray of Semi-Bespoke No. 22 opens with a bright, fizzy lift from aldehydes and bergamot, joined by the herbal snap of clary sage and petitgrain. It feels polished and airy at first, a crisp introduction that suggests a tailored linen suit and a sunlit terrace overlooking a garden in full bloom. The floral heart of jasmine, magnolia, ylang-ylang, and May rose arrives quickly, soft and elegant without ever becoming sugary. It carries a classic, slightly soapy refinement that feels at home in a sunlit courtyard where fresh air mixes with the scent of blooming trees.
The true character of this fragrance lives in its base. Galbanum and oakmoss bring a damp, shaded greenness that feels like walking through a dense thicket after rain, while sandalwood and orris add a smooth, powdery creaminess. Musk ties it all together with a clean, skin-like warmth. The green and woody elements have a persistent presence that stays close to the body yet announces itself clearly in a room, and the entire composition lingers on the skin for an incredibly extended period, fading only after days of wear. It suits someone who enjoys traditional chypre structures but wants that earthy moss and root to be wrapped in a luxurious, creamy floral blanket that continues to evolve
