The scent fingerprint

By the editors · 2 min readBergamot snaps open with a metallic citrus edge that quickly folds into the aromatic core. Lavender and rosemary weave together, the herb’s camphoreous lift sharpening the flower’s soft pollen while tonka pours a warm, slightly hay-like almond sweetness underneath. Vetiver enters early, its dry grass smoke pulling the brightness earthward, then patchouli spreads a dark cocoa-brown soil that swallows the last citrus glint. During the wear the accord settles into a clean barbershop ribbon: lavender kept crisp by rosemary, cushioned by tonka and anchored by cool vetiver root. Projection hovers at arm-length for the first three hours, making it an easy daytime companion for spring through early fall offices or post-gym errands.
