Mana dzimtene (Моя Родина)
Fragrance notes
Character
Mana dzimtene (Моя Родина) opens with a brisk citrus mix of bergamot and bitter orange that feels bright and slightly sharp. Aldehydes add a clean lift that keeps the opening from settling into something heavy. Orange blossom and geranium bring a green, slightly herbal edge to the first impression, so the citrus never reads as sweet or candied. The overall effect is fresh and aromatic rather than juicy, with a faint spicy snap that keeps the top notes from feeling one-dimensional.
Rose appears in two forms here, may rose and eglantine rose, and together they create a soft floral heart that stays close to the skin. Iris and neroli add a powdery, slightly creamy texture, while sandalwood gives the middle a gentle woody warmth. The base rests on oakmoss and dry wood, which pull the fragrance toward a classic chypre feel, with amber and musk adding a quiet, rounded finish. The scent stays citrus-forward at first, then moves into a floral wood that feels composed and steady, with the powdery notes lingering alongside the earthy dry down
