Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
The Fragrance: Warm and spicy notes of clove, cinnamon, and apple soften into earthy notes of cashmere wood, orris, labdanum, patchouli, and vetiver before drying into woody and sweet notes of sandalwood, cedarwood, vanilla, birchwood, and tonka bean. The Feeling: Your tailored suit and glass of whiskey neat effortlessly take charge at the launch party.
Rhubarb, bergamot, and green lemon open with fresh, verdant brightness. Jasmine, green tea, and fennel bloom at the heart, evoking the lushness of a sun-drenched garden.
