How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Amber
Amber is an olfactory illusion, conjured from labdanum, benzoin, vanilla, and other resins to evoke the sun-soaked warmth of the Mediterranean coast. Its scent is both earthy and sweet, with a powdery undertone that mimics the richness of ancient incense.
Cognac
Cognac, distilled from grapes in the French region of the same name, carries the essence of its terroir into perfumery. Its aroma is complex and inviting, with notes of oak barrels, dried fruits, and subtle spice, evoking a sense of sophistication and warmth.
Cedarwood
Cedarwood, sourced from various species of trees native to North America and Asia, offers a rich, earthy aroma that is both comforting and invigorating. Its scent can range from sweet and woody to more resinous and spicy, depending on the distillation process and the specific tree variety.
