Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Cedar
Cedar, sourced from various species of coniferous trees, exudes a deep, resinous aroma with hints of sweetness and wood smoke. Its scent is both comforting and grounding, reminiscent of old libraries or the quiet solitude of a forest. This versatile note has long been favored for its ability to blend seamlessly into complex compositions without overpowering other ingredients.
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.
Black Tea
Black tea, derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, carries an aroma of smoky warmth with hints of honey and a subtle dryness. This note captures the essence of a freshly brewed cup, evoking memories of cozy afternoons and brisk mornings.
