Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Citron
Citron, sourced from the thick-skinned fruit of the Citrus medica tree, offers a vibrant, almost bracing freshness. Its scent is more intense and less sweet than its citrus cousins, with notes that can range from lemony sharpness to a subtle bitterness. This robust character makes citron a favored ingredient for perfumers seeking to add an invigorating layer of brightness.
Dates
Dates, with their deep, honeyed sweetness and subtle hint of toffee, evoke the essence of sun-drenched orchards. The fruit's aroma is complex, blending notes of caramel and dried fruits with undertones of earthy warmth, making it a versatile addition in perfumery.
Myrtle
Myrtle, a shrub native to the Mediterranean, exudes a fresh, herbal aroma with hints of pine and citrus. Its leaves are distilled into an oil rich in terpenes, lending compositions a green, aromatic character that is both grounding and uplifting.
