This fragrance opens with a distinct medicinal and earthy character, dominated by guaiac wood and patchouli, creating a surprisingly intense and somewhat harsh initial impression. Over time, it evolves into a dry, woody, and deeply aromatic composition featuring vetiver, cedar, and subtle green herbal notes, resembling a damp forest after rain or a polished wooden cabin during autumn. The scent strikes a balance between wet, mossy woods and dry, earthy patchouli, offering a sensual yet understated atmosphere that leans strongly toward masculine, moody, and minimalist aesthetics. It performs reliably with moderate sillage and decent longevity, especially in humid conditions, due to its organic, non-synthetic character. It doesn't follow the formula of typical patchouli fragrances; instead, it feels authentically natural and nuanced, evoking images of a deep, well-crafted woodland path at twilight.
