By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum and basil open sharply green, with tarragon adding a dry herbal edge. Bergamot and lemon lift the opening without sweetening it — this is a cool, countryside-style green rather than a citrus cologne.
Jasmine and lily of the valley carry the heart, kept restrained by cardamom and the lingering herbal thread. Ylang-ylang is present but not dominant; its creaminess is trimmed by the surrounding green notes.
Oakmoss in the base anchors everything with an earthy, slightly damp forest quality. Leather adds structure and a subtle dry bite, while cedar and musk extend the dry-down quietly. The overall effect is green, mossy, and aromatic — an outdoor-leaning fragrance with clear chypre DNA.
