By the editors · 2 min readIvy opens with a crushed-leaf bitterness that bergamot sharpens into a cool, metallic green flash. Sage and cedar arrive together, the herb’s camphor slicing through the wood’s dry pencil shavings while iris powders the edges with a faint violet-grey dust. Moss creeps in early, swelling the green accord into something damp and forest-floor earthy; musk stays low, adding clean skin rather than sweetness. Wear tests show slow evolution: the ivy reced but never vanishes, leaving a persistent bitter-green veil that outlasts the citrus by hours. Projection sits at arm’s length for the first three hours, then pulls close to fabric, making it a discreet daytime option for cool spring walks or rainy urban commutes.
