By the editors · 2 min readClary sage introduces an aromatic, slightly herbal greenness that quickly recedes to the foreground. Orris root dominates the heart with its distinctive powdery and earthy texture, creating a soft, velvety core. Vetiver and cedar provide a dry, woody foundation that grounds the composition without overwhelming the delicate iris. Musk adds a clean, skin-like warmth that enhances the scent's intimate and close-wearing nature. The evolution is subtle and linear, maintaining its powdery-woody character throughout the wear. Longevity is moderate, around four to seven hours, with minimal sillage that stays close to the skin. Ideal for cool weather and formal or work settings, it offers a refined and understated presence.
