By the editors · 2 min readBasil, lemon, galbanum, and bergamot open in classic green-chypre fashion: bracing, herbaceous, with galbanum's resinous bitterness setting the tone. The basil keeps it fresh-aromatic rather than purely citric.
Tomato leaf, jasmine, plum, and lily of the valley make for an unusual heart — the tomato leaf adding a vine-green vegetal note that pushes the jasmine into an open-window-in-summer kind of feel. Plum supplies a quiet fruity counterweight without going jammy.
Oakmoss, vetiver, patchouli, and musk anchor the base in mossy-earthy chypre territory, the oakmoss damp and slightly bitter, vetiver dry and grassy. The overall character is a green chypre with a vegetal floral heart — leans cooler weather, daytime, and confident casual contexts. Projects firmly before settling close.
