Brun
Ambergris dominates from the first spray, its salty, skin-warm musk lifting heliotrope’s almond-powder sheen while clary sage adds a green, slightly bitter edge that keeps the opening from turning sugary.

By the editors · 2 min readAmbergris dominates from the first spray, its salty, skin-warm musk lifting heliotrope’s almond-powder sheen while clary sage adds a green, slightly bitter edge that keeps the opening from turning sugary. Magnolia lands next, its lemon-cream petals folding into the salty musk so the heart feels like seaside flowers dusted with tide-line minerals; ylang-ylang contributes a banana-sweet viscosity that lengthens the floral cream without overt sweetness. As skin heat rises, patchouli emerges beneath the musk, supplying a dry cocoa-earth that mutes the flowers and lets the ambergris reclaim center stage, now softer, almost wool-lanolin in texture. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, then settles to a translucent mineral skin-glow perfect for spring office wear or cool summer evenings when you want quiet polish rather than announcement.
