By the editors · 2 min readBeau de Provence opens cool and bitter — grapefruit pith and bergamot oil cracked over a fresh fig, the fruit reading more green than sweet. There's no soft landing into florals; instead the heart pivots straight into kitchen-garden aromatics, mint and basil rubbed between fingers, with a thread of ylang holding the herbs together so they don't read flat.
The drydown is where it earns its name. Sandalwood and dual cedars build a warm, dry woody bed, and vetiver pulls the whole thing toward sun-dried earth, patchouli rounding the edges. It wears like a Provençal hillside in late afternoon — herbal, woody, faintly resinous, never sugared. Built for warm weather and casual daytime; close to the skin after the first hour.
