By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain opens with a bitter-green flash that feels like crushed leaves and citrus pindust, instantly cooled by lavender’s clean, slightly camphoraceous lift. Pink pepper seeds the top with a soft peppery snap that keeps the blend from turning soapy, while bamboo slips in early as a watery, almost cucumber-like green that stretches the freshness into the heart. Vetiver anchors the base, its dry grass stalks adding a faint smoky rootiness that stops the composition from floating away, while amber adds a transparent, salty warmth that clings like sun-baked driftwood. On skin the scent stays linear: the pepper fades first, bamboo lingers longest, and the ambered vetiver hums quietly for hours. Projection sits within arm’s length, making it an easy office or post-gym refresher that favors warm days and salty skin.
