By the editors · 2 min readRosemary and fennel open with a sharp, herbal intensity — rosemary medicinal and piney, fennel adding a licorice-anise sharpness. The combination is purposefully challenging, herbal in a garden-bed rather than aromatic-fougère sense. Neither note is shy.
Neroli and orange blossom form the heart, bringing a citrusy-white floral lightness that contrasts with the dark herbal opening. The transition is noticeable and interesting — from bitter-aromatic to clean-bright floral, a tension the composition explores rather than resolves.
Vetiver and benzoin close the fragrance. Vetiver is dry and earthy; benzoin adds a balsamic sweetness. The finish is quieter than the opening, grounding the herbal-floral drama in earthy warmth. A deliberately unusual composition with character and intention.
