How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Cashmere Wood
Cashmere Wood is not derived from actual cashmere or wood but rather crafted in laboratories to evoke the sensation of a warm, cozy sweater. Its scent profile combines woody and powdery notes with subtle musk undertones, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both luxurious and comforting.
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.
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.
