Olfactive Profile
The experience is a burst of fresh-cut herbs. Bright Lavender, floral Geranium, and aromatic Rosemary fizz with energy, colliding with the spicy, green character of Clary Sage. Moments later, this fresh opening is anchored by a deep, earthy base of classic Oakmoss and grassy Vetiver. Polished Sandalwood and Cedar add a poised backbone, while a final, soft veil of Amber and Jasmine lends just enough warmth to perfect the composition.
