By the editors · 2 min readPsyché opens on basil — green, slightly peppery, and cleanly herbal. The single top note is direct; there's no fruit or citrus to soften the opening, giving it an immediately fresh-aromatic character with a slightly mineral edge.
Moss, leather, and ambroxan form the base. Moss adds damp organic depth; leather contributes a dry, slightly animalic quality; ambroxan provides an airy, skin-amplifying warmth. Together they suggest a composition that starts clean and resolves into something earthier.
This is a green aromatic landing on a mossy leather base — structured, masculine in its bones, and with enough contrast between top and base to offer real development. The ambroxan ensures it reads modern despite the vintage underpinnings.
