By the editors · 2 min readOpens peppery and sun-bleached — black pepper and cardamom over lemon, with clary sage threading a herbaceous spine. Bergamot rounds the citrus.
There is no formal heart, so the composition slides quickly into a deep moss accord. Lavender lifts up through the green and joins the moss, giving the middle a wild, garrigue-like atmosphere — herbal, dry, almost weather-beaten.
Guaiac, vetiver and cedar form an earthy floor, a thread of vanilla quietly rounding it. Overall character: a green-aromatic anchored by deep, dry moss. The moss anchors the whole thing in a damp, shaded register. It reads neither sharp nor sweet but balanced.
