By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum opens with a bitter-green snap that cuts straight through the citrus brightness of lemon and bergamot, creating an almost medicinal chill. Iris soon arrives, powdering the galbanum's edge while sandalwood and patchumen add a dry, earthy weight that pulls the composition downward. The heart phase is dominated by this interplay: vetiver sharpens the green axis, jasmine offers a brief floral lift, then patchouli darkens everything into a loamy hum. Leather emerges early in the dry-down, merging with moss and ambergris to form a cool, mineral-hide that smells like wet stone and old riding tack. Tonka and vanilla soften only the final hour, leaving a faint tobacco-sweet trace on cuffs. Projection stays arm-length for six hours, then settles to skin as a skin scent perfect for damp autumn walks or a rainy-day office.
