Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Patchouli
Patchouli emanates from the leaves of Pogostemon cablin, a bush native to Southeast Asia. Its scent is deeply woody with hints of musty earth, warm spices, and a subtle sweetness that can be both comforting and complex. This versatile note has been a staple in perfumery for decades, often used to evoke feelings of nostalgia and grounding.
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.
Benzoin
Resin from the Styrax tree, benzoin exudes a rich, sweet aroma with hints of vanilla and incense. Originating from regions like Indonesia and India, it is prized for its complex character that melds earthy and spicy facets into a comforting embrace.
