Olfactory pyramid
Top notes: Calabrian Bergamot, Indian Cardamom, Red Apple (Red Apple accord)
The opening is bright, fruity and fresh: bergamot adds a citrusy and Mediterranean touch, red apple introduces a juicy and inviting nuance, while cardamom adds depth and a spicy-aromatic accent, setting the stage for an intriguing evolution.
Heart notes: Lavender, Clary Sage, Geranium (aromatic/herbaceous notes)
At the heart, the fragrance takes on a more aromatic and slightly weedy dimension: lavender offers elegance and a clean vibe, clary sage and geranium enrich the profile, making it contemporary and masculine, with a light herbaceous freshness balancing the initial sweetness.
Base notes: Tobacco, Patchouli, Haitian Vetiver
The base stabilizes the composition on warm, earthy and decisive tones: tobacco gives sensuality and a masculine character, patchouli adds depth and slightly amber sensuality, and Haitian vetiver lends a woody and natural touch that makes the trail reassuring and persistent.
