Fragrance notes
The morning air in a coastal garden is bright and damp, carrying the sharp snap of lemon and bergamot through the leaves. Mandarin orange and melon sit in a shallow bowl on a wooden table, their juice catching the early sun. Freesia and verbena drift from the flowerbeds nearby, while mint and a faint bite of anise move through the breeze. Cardamom warms the air just enough to keep the scene from feeling thin. Cedar and vetiver ground the space, their dry lines running beneath the green and the citrus like old fence posts. Sandalwood and labdanum add a soft, resinous weight, and patchouli brings a dark earthiness to the soil underfoot. Tonka bean and amber settle into the warmth of the wood and stone, turning the light golden as the air settles.
The garden is a clear pond surrounded by citrus trees, their branches heavy with fruit that falls and splits open on the grass. Freesia grows in clusters along the bank, and mint pushes through the damp earth at the water's edge. Cardamom and anise float on the surface like seeds carried from somewhere upstream. Cedar and vetiver form the roots that hold the bank in place, while sandalwood and labdanum darken the water with a quiet, resinous depth. Patchouli clings to the stones below, and tonka bean and amber glow in the shallows like sunlight trapped beneath the surface.
