Hazy yellow florals, red spices, and a bold animalic hides.
Spicy carrot in the opening, which took me by surprise.
With more sniffing, it reminds me a little of IA’s Abandoned Mansion: mossy, green, and spiced with pimento or paprika—this is a distinctly ‘red’ spice that bites your nose, like you just opened a can of chilli flakes.
The greenness is bizarre here. It reminds me of dried leaves and carrot powder—something vegetal, savoury, and slightly waxy perhaps. It feels old and dusty, but in a comforting way.
There’s a freshness, but a very unorthodox style that I can’t pin down: the closest I can describe it is like if a carrot had a rindy part with stored essential oils and a rooty bitterness. Maybe I’m crazy.
In the air, a yellow floral element is at play, something hazy, warm, slightly honeyed, and dry like hay or yellow grass—most likely immortelle and chamomile (I checked, and Fragrantica says mate).
From these, it makes me think of a hazy summer’s day on a river bank, with a mixture of dry flowers pumping pollen in the air and creating this sweet, slightly rooty smell in the stale air. It’s weird and natural.
The violet leaf listed isn’t strong and is far from it’s usual fresh, watery form—It adds some crispness to the density of what I listed earlier, but without pushing to the front.
Oddly, I don’t get much leather. If I think about it, these other notes can give that yellow-brown ruggedness of leather. If anything, the dry down goes in a woody direction, becoming a dry, mossy, lichen-riddled block cedar stump.
There is a strong funkiness in the base too—something grimy and furry, sweaty like a hide. This is the closest idea of leather I get, but it’s more a dirty musk or castoreum rather than the leather itself (hence the Antaeus comparisons).
In character, this is mellow and calming, with imagery of dry summer rides, hazy landscapes, and a nostalgic optimism.
Unique, unexpected, and truly ‘niche’ in quality and creative direction—I could see this coming from an indie brand.
Use cases:
Unisex leaning masculine, due to the animalic elements.
Odd but interesting choice for the summer, although maybe a little stuffy if used indoors. Probably best in transitional periods, especially cooler days of spring.
Somewhat elegant, but mostly natural and grounded—I see this as a hiking scent, or something for a road trip, and only something for the day.
