By the editors · 2 min readSage and thyme introduce a dry, aromatic herbal opening that is both medicinal and refreshing. This quickly settles into a dense, earthy base dominated by oakmoss and vetiver, which provide a classic chypre-like greenness. Incense adds a faint smoky resinous quality, while benzoin offers a subtle balsamic sweetness that softens the composition. Cedar wood provides a dry, woody backbone that persists throughout the wear. It is a linear aromatic-woody scent with strong projection, suited for formal or outdoor occasions in cool or cold weather.
