By the editors · 2 min readLavender dominates the opening, cool and camphoraceous, slicing through humid air with a clean herbal edge. Rosemary enters almost immediately, its pine-like bitterness tightening the aromatic frame while patchouli adds a damp-earth undertone that keeps the accord from turning airy. As the heart settles, the patchouli’s cocoa facet warms, softening the lavender’s metallic lift and creating a muted forest-floor effect. Sandalwood and Virginia cedar arrive late, the former supplying a creamy, lactonic wood that blurs the edges, the latter adding dry pencil-shaving crispness so the scent never becomes sweet. Wear inches close to skin after ninety minutes, projecting a calm, barbershop-quiet radius for another three hours. Cool spring mornings and after-gym showers are its natural habitat; it behaves like a refined fougère without the coumarin excess.
