Patchouli & Cedarwood
Fragrance notes
Character
Sunlight falls across a wooden terrace where a warm breeze moves through the trees. The air carries the bright lift of bergamot and pink grapefruit, their citrus edges softened by the crisp bite of black pepper and the resinous spark of elemi. It feels immediate and clear, a clean start that sits comfortably in the open air.
Magnolia adds a smooth floral layer that never turns heavy. Palisander rosewood and cedar give the heart a dry, polished grain that matches the wooden rails under your hands. The scent stays close to the skin and feels composed, letting the floral note breathe without drifting into sweetness.
Haitian vetiver and patchouli anchor the base with an earthy depth that feels grounded rather than dark. Amber rounds the edges so the woods never turn sharp. The composition stays balanced, offering a woody chypre character that feels natural and calm in the middle of a bright day.
Composed by Paolo Cerizza, this 2019 release suits someone who enjoys citrus that leads into honest wood. It may not appeal to those who prefer soft gourmands or powdery florals. You stand on a sunlit deck with a cold glass in your hand and the pale grain of cedar warm against your palm.
