By the editors · 2 min readEucalyptus bursts first, cool and sharply camphoraceous, slicing through humid air before the mimosa arrives. Mimosa’s fluffy yellow pollen dust softens the green sting, adding a faint honeyed sweetness that keeps the composition from turning medicinal. Tobacco enters early in the dry-down, not smoky but dry and blond, like unlit ribbon leaves, while patchouli supplies a muted earthy backdrop that anchors the airy top. The accord stays lightweight, more sun-warmed dock than heavy cigar lounge, projecting at arm’s length for three hours then settling into a skin-hugging whisper of dried herbs and soft woods. Best for breezy spring or early fall afternoons when you want quiet presence rather than announcement.
