By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and lavender open together cleanly, the lavender sharp and herbal rather than sweet, lifted by the citrus into something almost medicinal in the best sense. There's immediate structure here — nothing loose or wandering.
Cinnamon arrives in the heart with moderate warmth, bridging the cool top into the deeper base without overwhelming either direction. It reads as spice rather than sweetness.
Oakmoss anchors the dry-down firmly, giving the composition its defining green-earthy character. Patchouli adds depth without going dark, and amber provides a gentle resinous hold. The result is a dry, classical fougère shape — aromatic, mossy, and restrained.
