By the editors · 2 min readBasil and lemon open green and bracing, with bergamot smoothing the citrus into something more polished than herbal. The top reads classically masculine in a 1970s-French register, brisk but already pointing toward something denser.
The heart shifts woody and aromatic. Sandalwood and vetiver anchor jasmine and a thread of rose, while patchouli adds earthy weight. The transition is gradual rather than dramatic.
Oakmoss, leather, ambergris, myrrh, and labdanum compose a textbook chypre drydown — dry, slightly bitter, animalic in a restrained way. The base lasts considerably longer than the top, eventually settling into a moss-leather skin scent that reads sophisticated and distinctly old-school. Heavy evolution from green to dark.
