Jasmine and cedar open the composition together, the jasmine kept restrained and slightly green rather than indolic, the cedar providing a clean pencil-shaving dryness from the start.

By the editors · 2 min readJasmine and cedar open the composition together, the jasmine kept restrained and slightly green rather than indolic, the cedar providing a clean pencil-shaving dryness from the start. There's no flashy citrus or top-note flourish.
The heart settles quickly into the base, where white musk softens the wood and vetiver adds a quiet, rooty earthiness. Patchouli appears more as a damp, humus-like undercurrent than the sweet chocolate version.
Overall the character is groomed, low-key, and slightly austere, the kind of thing that reads clean and intentional without announcing itself. It works for daytime and office wear in cooler weather, sitting close to the skin throughout most of its life.
