By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens simply, providing a clean citrus entry before the heart claims the composition. Jasmine, iris, and nutmeg settle into something dry and cerebral — the iris anchors everything in powdery, root-like earthiness, while nutmeg keeps a measured spice running through the middle.
The base arrives on vetiver and patchouli, deepening the earthy quality and adding a slight smokiness. Tonka bean bridges the gap between heart and base, lending subtle almond-sweetness without turning gourmand.
This is a composed, muted fragrance — iris-led and earthy throughout, restrained in projection. It wears closer to the skin and suits cooler weather and more introspective moments rather than high-energy occasions.
