Fragrance notes
Character
1373 by Bana is a deliberate argument for the dark, resinous gourmand. It is built for the person who finds most sweet fragrances too light and wants a scent that feels rooted in the earth. The opening of honey, saffron, and cloves makes a bold case immediately, but the real work happens later. The heart of labdanum, tobacco, and chocolate builds a dense, bitter warmth that refuses to stay in the background.
The drydown is where the fragrance truly convinces. Caramel and ambroxan meet oakmoss to create a texture that is sticky yet grounded. The moss pulls the sugar down so it never floats away, while the ambroxan adds a modern, mineral edge to the ancient resins. It is a heavy, musky composition that feels appropriate when the air is cold and the sky is dark. The sweetness is present, but it is wrapped in a tobacco leaf rather than a candy wrapper.
This is the scent of standing near a bonfire in a wool coat, smelling the burning wood mix with the residual sugar from a dark chocolate bar in your pocket.
