The story

Six months of maceration.

Lemon and white pepper open sharp over a thread of incense. Then the patchouli arrives and stays — earthy, dark and unusually smooth, softened by jasmine and cistus. Labdanum, amber and oakmoss deepen the base. Best on skin; it never reads properly on paper.

How it wears

Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
