By the editors · 2 min readRosemary and bergamot launch the scent with a brisk, slightly bitter-green flash that quickly folds into a jasmine-osmanthus heart, the jasmine lending creamy white petals while osmanthus contributes a suede-like apricot tint. The base is a crowded animalic-wood panel: civet and castoreum deliver a sour, almost horcine growl, guaiac and cedar supply splinter-dry smoke, vetiver adds cold earth, and patchouli brings dark chocolate bitterness, all lacquered by labdanum’s molten resin and the salty, skin-like radiance of ambergris. As it settles, the castoreum softens, letting the saffron-leather facet rise so the woods smell like cured hides stored in a damp forest shed. Sillage reaches arm’s length for six hours before it collapses to a skin-seeking musky wood. Cool fall nights, private dinners, dark jackets.
