By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum opens with a sharp green bitterness that quickly softens into bergamot's bright citrus freshness. Jasmine and rose provide a floral heart that feels lush yet restrained, while iris adds a subtle powdery texture beneath. Sandalwood and vetiver create a dry woody base that feels earthy and slightly resinous. Oakmoss and patchouli deepen the dry-down with a classic mossy chypre character that lingers close to skin. The composition evolves from green-citrus to a powdery floral-woody accord over several hours. Moderate projection and longevity suit cool weather formal or evening occasions.
