By the editors · 2 min readFig leaf and plum open with an unusual pairing — the fig adding a milky-green bitterness while plum brings dusky sweetness. The contrast is slightly restless, giving the opening a dry-fruity edge that avoids straightforward sweetness.
Sage and rosemary dominate the heart with assertive herbal presence, lending a Mediterranean, almost culinary quality. Jasmine sits quietly beneath, preventing the composition from becoming purely aromatic. The herbal register is cool and green, more outdoorsy than refined.
Sandalwood and Virginia cedar resolve the base into clean, dry wood. Musk keeps the skin presence light and unobtrusive. The overall effect is an aromatic-woody fragrance with a fruity opening twist — direct and uncomplicated in its construction.
