By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain opens green and slightly bitter, the woody-citrus edge of the bitter-orange leaf giving the top a quiet aromatic character. There's no big citrus blast — this is a restrained, slightly herbal opening.
The heart layers lavender, tonka bean, leather, and jasmine. Lavender pulls toward fougère; tonka warms the lavender into something almond-edged; leather adds a soft animalic backbone; jasmine smooths everything. The composition feels like a fougère reframed as something more intimate.
Oakmoss, ambroxan, cedar, and patchouli form the base. The drydown is earthy and slightly mossy with leather persisting underneath. The ambroxan adds a smooth radiance that lifts the moss off the floor. The whole reads as a polished aromatic-leather with sustained projection and a long woody finish.
