By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and lemon offer a sharp, green-citrus opening that feels brisk and aromatic. Lavender and rosemary contribute a herbal, camphoraceous quality that is both clean and medicinal. The heart continues the aromatic theme with neroli and orange blossom providing a floral, honeyed sweetness. Mint and clary sage add a cool, earthy-green layer that deepens the aromatic character. The base is richly resinous, with olibanum and labdanum creating a warm, balsamic foundation. Sandalwood and benzoin provide a smooth, slightly sweet woody-amber dry-down. Patchouli lends an earthy, grounding note that balances the composition. This projects with moderate strength for several hours, ideal for daytime wear in spring or fall.
