By the editors · 2 min readCicatrices wears its name openly. A bergamot brightness lasts only a moment before the heart turns to scarred leather laced with myrrh and a powdered iris that reads almost medicinal — bitter, root-like, austere.
The base is where the wound heals: labdanum and patchouli pour in dark and resinous, and a slow vanilla bleeds through them without ever softening to dessert. The result is balsamic rather than sweet, oily-smooth rather than smoky.
Deep, still, and slightly funereal. A perfume for cold weather and quiet rooms — close to the body but emphatically present on those who lean in.
