How a scent unfolds.

Top notes leave in minutes, the heart stays for hours, the base remains on your scarf the next morning.

Bergamot and pink pepper — bright, brief, the first impression.

Top · 15–30 min

Smoked lapsang tea, a single drop that changes everything.

Heart · 1–4 h

Rose absolute and labdanum, round and warm on the skin.

Heart · 4–6 h

Benzoin from Laos, soft and resinous like warm bread.

Ambrette seed and cashmeran — the skin-like finish.

Base · next day

Vanilla tincture and oud, what stays on wool overnight.
