Bright, herbaceous florals given a fresh, aromatic edge. The warmth of tonka. The comfort of chamomile. This is the scent of steam rising from a pot of herbal tea in a field of wildflowers.
Bergamot leads the charge, wrapped in green-toned florals that feel airy rather than sweet. Mate keeps the composition dry and unsweetened, while lavender softens the greenery so it never turns harsh or astringent.
For the first couple of hours or so, it leans traditionally feminine, but as it settles - revealing a stony depth beneath the florals - it shifts in a more unisex direction: white musks, unlit incense, and a subtle tonka sweetness, wisping around a base of mineralic ambroxan.
I adore where it eventually lands - the perfect "white-shirt scent" for when you want to smell clean and well put-together, but not at all generic.
