By the editors · 2 min readOpens with bergamot brightened by a whisper of incense — citrus and resin in the same breath, the way light falls through a stone window.
The heart turns floral without going lush: jasmine and ylang-ylang sit beside iris's cool, powdery weight, with Virginia cedar drawing a vertical line through the bouquet. It's elegant in the old sense, not perfumed. Sandalwood, vetiver, and a quiet amber form the base, with patchouli adding earth and a touch of musk softening the close.
The overall feel is composed and slightly distant. Suits cooler shoulders of the year and rooms with high ceilings.
