How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance

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.

Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean, derived from the seeds of the Dipteryx odorata tree found in South America, brings an essence of vanilla with hints of almond and caramel. Its aroma is both warm and comforting, reminiscent of rich desserts yet grounded by a subtle earthiness that lends depth to any perfume.

Fir Resin
Fir resin emanates from fir trees, offering a scent profile rich with the sharp freshness of pine needles and the woody warmth of tree sap. This versatile note brings to mind the dense, aromatic atmosphere of coniferous forests, blending seamlessly between fresh and earthy tones.
