L'Eau Neuve
Opens like a classic cologne with herb mixed in: lavender immediately prominent over orange, lemon, and bergamot, the lavender setting the aromatic register before the citrus has fully evaporated.

The heart layers thyme and clary sage with jasmine and rose, building an unusual herbal-floral middle where the kitchen-garden aromatics keep the florals from going too pretty. The construction has the slightly austere, dressed-but-not-formal feel of a French apothecary.
Drydown is full chypre architecture: oakmoss heavy and damp, patchouli adding earth, sandalwood and cedar providing structure, white musk smoothing the seams. Long, mossy, slightly bitter, and confidently unisex. A traditional eau de toilette in the literal sense — refreshing on application, substantial by hour three.
