By the editors · 2 min readHedera — ivy in Latin — opens on a bright citrus accord: grapefruit, lemon, and bergamot with orange blossom to soften the edges. The heart introduces the composition's more interesting terrain: ivy, with its distinctive green and slightly bitter quality, sits alongside damask rose, lavender, and jasmine. The pineapple note reads as fruity-green rather than tropical, amplifying the ivy's botanical character rather than contrasting it.
The base anchors in vetiver and cedar, dry and slightly smoky, with coconut adding unexpected softness. The combination of green ivy, smoky vetiver, and coconut gives the dry-down an unusual quality — cool and botanical on the surface, warmer beneath. A fragrance that rewards patience.
