By the editors · 2 min readTarragon and lavender open with a sharp herbal edge, softened quickly by bergamot. There is a slightly anisic quality in the first minutes before the composition settles.
Raspberry emerges in the heart, lending a restrained fruitiness against jasmine's quiet florality. The base is the real weight of this fragrance — oakmoss, patchouli, and tobacco build a dense, resinous foundation with cedar providing structure and sandalwood rounding the whole without sweetness.
This reads as a classic masculine fougère with earthy, mossy depth. The tobacco and oakmoss combination leans vintage in character, dry and slightly animalic. Amber and tonka add warmth without veering toward gourmand territory.
