By the editors · 2 min readLavender dominates the opening, its cool herbal spike sharpened by lemon and bergamot, creating a brisk aromatic flash that feels barbershop-clean rather than countryside. Rosemary folds into the heart, adding a camphorous green edge that keeps the lavender from turning powdery while vetiver threads a dry, slightly smoky grass note through the accord. Patchouli arrives late, not sweet but earthy-bitter, anchoring the herbs in a muted brown base that softens projection without adding weight. The citrus burns off within thirty minutes, leaving the lavender-rosemary tandem to hover close to skin for hours, slowly drying into a vetiver-patchouli hum that smells like well-worn tweated cloth. Sillage stays polite—an arm’s-length aura—making it office-safe yet quietly distinctive through the workday. Expect moderate longevity, best in spring and early fall when its cool herbal spine can contrast mild warmth.
