The opening is unusual and slightly disorienting — cashmeran's salty-musky woody hum sets a mineral tone immediately, with no traditional citrus or floral overture to ease the transition.

By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is unusual and slightly disorienting — cashmeran's salty-musky woody hum sets a mineral tone immediately, with no traditional citrus or floral overture to ease the transition.
The heart unfolds slowly: lily emerges pale and slightly green-pollen, while moss lends a damp-stone undercurrent that makes the perfume feel cool and earthy, like wet rock under leaf-litter. Patchouli threads through with its characteristic dark-soil warmth. Ambroxan in the base adds a dry, salty-amber spaciousness — the impression is open-air rather than enclosed. Projection is moderate and persistent; the texture stays mineral, vegetal, and faintly aquatic throughout, never sweet.
Overall the character is a damp-earth, salty-mossy meditation — abstract, contemplative, neither floral nor woody in any familiar sense, more landscape than perfume.
