Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Iris
Iris, derived from the root of the Iris pallida plant, is an emblematic note that evokes both floral softness and woody depth. Its scent is complex, with hints of violet-like sweetness and a subtle damp earthiness that adds a sense of mystery to any blend.
Vetiver
Vetiver, harvested from the roots of a tall grass native to India, exudes an earthy aroma that is both dry and slightly sweet. Its scent profile ranges from smoky and leathery to green and fresh, depending on how it’s distilled and aged. This versatile note thrives in tropical climates and has long been cherished for its grounding qualities.
Cedar
Cedar, sourced from various species of coniferous trees, exudes a deep, resinous aroma with hints of sweetness and wood smoke. Its scent is both comforting and grounding, reminiscent of old libraries or the quiet solitude of a forest. This versatile note has long been favored for its ability to blend seamlessly into complex compositions without overpowering other ingredients.
