By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain opens brisk and green, a citrus-leaf snap that quickly sweetens as raspberry and honey arrive, turning the top into a sticky, tart gloss. The heart piles on gourmand layers: praline and fig thicken texture, coffee adds roasted bitterness, while ginger and cinnamon spark a quiet heat that keeps sugars in check. Leather and guaiac wood emerge early, drying the syrup with a smoky, tar-edged veneer; myrrh and cedar extend that woodsmoke trail, cashmeran softens edges with clean musk, and a late musk skin-musk glow lingers close. Projection stays moderate, sillage a warm coffee-spice halo for cooler days or unheated cafés.
