By the editors · 2 min readSeaweed and lavender open with a marine aromatic character, immediately grounded by nutmeg's warm spice and clary sage's herbal depth. Coffee adds a dark roasted accent that intertwines with the oceanic elements, creating a complex fougère structure. Jasmine and damask rose emerge in the heart, lending a floral softness against the persistent seaweed and tobacco backdrop. Oakmoss provides a classic chypre bitterness that evolves into a resinous base featuring ambergris, castoreum, and civet for animalic warmth. Sandalwood and cedar offer dry woody support while tonka bean and amber impart a sweet balsamic finish. Projection remains moderate with strong sillage for several hours before settling into a musky skin scent ideal for cool weather evenings.
