By the editors · 2 min readLavender, lemon and bergamot open in textbook fougere brightness, the citrus keeping the lavender from feeling stuffy. It is a recognisable, almost archival opening.
Sage, more lavender, rosemary, cumin and nutmeg deepen the heart into a herbal-spicy chord with a distinctive cumin warmth that gives the perfume a slightly sweaty human quality. The herbs stay dry; nothing turns floral or sweet.
Oakmoss, patchouli and musk close the base into a classic chypre-fougere drydown, the moss damp and shaded, patchouli providing earthy depth. The overall character is a traditional dry aromatic fougere with chypre underpinnings, restrained, masculine in cut, and well-suited to office and cool-weather wear.
