By the editors · 2 min readLavender and bergamot open with a clean fougère snap—lavender's herbal-floral edge meeting bergamot's citrus brightness. The first minutes read classical and slightly powdery.
Sandalwood, ambergris, and patchouli carry the heart into something darker and more complex. Ambergris adds a salty, animalic warmth that bridges the lavender to the heavier base notes, while patchouli adds earthy depth.
Tonka bean, vetiver, and labdanum close the composition with a balsamic-warm, slightly sweet drydown. The labdanum is recognisable—sticky, ambered, faintly leather-adjacent. Overall this is a modern fougère with an amber-balsamic finish, projection moderate, longevity solid. Cool-weather wear, evening or date rotation, leaning quietly grown-up.
