By the editors · 2 min readLavender dominates the opening, but it is stripped of its usual sunlit freshness and instead presented as a cool, slightly medicinal haze that settles quickly onto a plush suede base. The heart is skipped, so the transition is immediate: tonka bean swells with marzipin sweetness while oakmoss folds in a dry, loamy bitterness that keeps the vanilla from turning custardy. Clove arrives late, a quiet spark of heat that threads through the suede and musk, giving the dry-down the faint rasp of a well-worn leather jacket stored in cedar. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, then collapses into a skin skin-scent of sweet moss and powdered wood. Cool autumn days and unheated offices suit its restrained volume best.
