By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and bergamot open with a crisp, slightly bitter green-citrus duet, immediately establishing an aromatic direction rather than anything fruity.
The heart introduces lavender alongside guaiac wood and cedar. Lavender brings the herbal-floral classic, guaiac contributes a smoky-dry wood character that's distinctive without being heavy, and cedar reinforces the dry framework. There's an aldehydic shimmer running through, lifting the composition.
The base of eucalyptus, galbanum and rose is unusual: eucalyptus extends the cooling herbal feel, galbanum adds that sharp green-resinous bite, and rose softens the edges with a quiet floral warmth. Despite the name, blackcurrant doesn't surface; instead the structure stays green-aromatic and slightly chypre-tinged. Suited to spring and cool weather, casual or office wear.
