Composition & Character
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.
Labdanum
Harvested from the sticky secretions of rockrose shrubs, labdanum exudes an intense aroma that is both animalic and woody. Its scent can be likened to a blend of ambergris and vanilla, with hints of sweetness and a smoky undertone. This complex profile makes it a versatile ingredient in perfumery.
Guaiac Wood
Guaiac Wood is harvested from the Guaiac tree native to South America. Its scent is intense and smoky with a hint of sweetness, reminiscent of campfire embers mingled with earthy undertones. This rich aroma makes it a cornerstone for creating deep, complex fragrances.
