How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Musk
Musk, once sourced from the musk deer and now often recreated synthetically, offers an earthy, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of skin. Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly into various fragrance families, from oriental to woody, enhancing their depth without overpowering them.
Ylang-Ylang
Ylang ylang, with its heady, honeyed aroma and delicate yellow flowers, originates from the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. Its fragrance is both lush and slightly exotic, embodying the essence of sun-drenched islands and warm breezes. The scent can be described as a blend of jasmine and rose, yet it carries its own distinctive character that perfumers cherish.
cannabis
Cannabis is an intriguing material with a lush, green aroma that can be both herbaceous and slightly sweet. Its origins lie in the dried flowers of the cannabis plant, known for their aromatic properties beyond their psychoactive effects. This note brings a natural freshness to fragrances, reminiscent of a garden at dawn.
