Infuse
Guaiac wood opens with a dry, pencil-shaving smokiness that immediately stakes its claim on the composition, while bergamot flashes a brief, metallic citrus edge that sharpens the wood rather than softening it.

By the editors · 2 min readGuaiac wood opens with a dry, pencil-shaving smokiness that immediately stakes its claim on the composition, while bergamot flashes a brief, metallic citrus edge that sharpens the wood rather than softening it. The heart blooms into a blended yellow-white floral haze where magnolia’s cool waxiness and freesia’s aqueous green lift the osmanthus-leather undertone, and a translucent apricot flesh note adds a subtle lactonic sweetness that keeps the woods from turning austere. Vetiver reintroduces a grassy, rooty crackle in the base, pairing with ambroxan to stretch a mineral, skin-woven wood-smoke trail that lingers close but persistent. Projection stays low and personal, ideal for warm spring office days or travel when you want quiet complexity without announcing it.
