By the editors · 2 min readRosemary and thyme open with an assertive herbal freshness — sharp, clean, and distinctly Mediterranean in character. Sage and labdanum in the heart create an interesting contrast: sage extends the herbal quality while labdanum introduces a dark, resinous warmth. Oakmoss, iris, and castoreum form a nuanced base — the iris adding cool powdery depth, castoreum bringing a subtle animalic warmth, and oakmoss grounding everything with a green, earthy character. The general notes also reference marine and clary sage. This is a complex, interesting composition with genuine character — a herbal-chypre with dark resinous and animalic underpinning.
