Anglais
Fragrance notes
Character
Anglais opens with lavender and tobacco placed side by side. The lavender carries a clean, slightly powdery tone that meets the dry, leafy quality of the tobacco. Thyme enters next and adds a green, slightly medicinal edge that keeps the opening from feeling soft. Tonka bean brings a rounded sweetness that sits beneath the herbs, while iris contributes a smooth, root-like texture that bridges the brighter top and the heavier base. The heart feels aromatic and herbal rather than floral, with thyme and iris steering the composition toward something dry and structured.
The base rests on oakmoss, cedar, vetiver, and cypriol. Oakmoss adds a damp, earthy depth that anchors the herbs above it. Cedar provides a dry woodiness that feels steady and unpolished. Vetiver brings a grassy, slightly smoky earthiness, and cypriol adds a dark, mineral weight that pulls the entire fragrance toward the ground. The result is woody, mossy, and aromatic, with the tobacco and lavender still present but quieter. Sweetness from tonka bean lingers without dominating the dry materials around it.
This is a fragrance built for daylight, where clear air and natural light suit its herbal freshness and dry woods. The accords move from aromatic and fresh spicy to woody and earthy as the hours pass. Lavender, thyme, and tobacco lead at first, then give way to iris, tonka bean, and finally oakmoss, cedar, vetiver, and cypriol. The overall impression stays herbal, woody, and mossy throughout.
