By the editors · 2 min readLippizan opens with an aromatic jolt—tarragon and thyme cut through bergamot like herbs crushed underfoot in a formal garden. The cardamom adds warmth without sweetness, while clary sage brings a slightly metallic, almost medicinal edge. It's green and assertive, more apothecary than cologne.
The heart unfolds into a dense tangle of vetiver, galbanum, and patchouli, their earthy bitterness softened by iris and subtle florals. Virginia cedar adds a dry, pencil-shaving quality, while jasmine and rose hover at the edges rather than dominating. The effect is resinous and shadowed, with leather beginning to announce itself beneath the greenery.
As it settles, the leather takes over—supple rather than animalic, buttressed by amber and musk that feel more structural than decorative. This is a fragrance built around contrasts: herbal sharpness against smooth skin, earth against refinement. It suits someone comfortable occupying space without raising their voice.
