By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain snaps open with a bitter-green flash, lemon and bergamot adding brisk oil to the leaves while lavender, rosemary and basil pile on camphoraceous coolness. Cinnamon quickly warms the aromatics, its dry bark settling over vetiver’s grass-root smoke and cedar’s pencil-sharp planks; heliotrope softens the angles with faint almond dust. Patchouli’s earthy leaf, clary sage’s bittersweet herb and a restrained tonka-vanilla tandem darken the base, yet the accord stays airy because oak-moss and ambergris pump cool mineral draughts through the woods. During the dry-down the cinnamon recedes, leaving a clean moss-tinged skin scent that still carries a citrus echo. Projection sits at polite handshake distance for six hours, perfect for office or spring weekend wear.
