Umbra

Bergamot and grapefruit burst forth with crisp, almost tart intensity, immediately joined by orange's brightness—a fresh, Mediterranean moment that feels almost contradictory to what's coming. Within moments, the citrus begins to splinter and scatter as the spice accord emerges, peppering the airspace with something faintly sharp and slightly acrid.

The spice deepens considerably as geranium's green-peppery character takes hold, whilst jasmine provides a creamy, almost soapy texture that adds unexpected intimacy. Oakmoss and cedarwood begin their slow emergence from beneath, creating a woody-green dryness that transforms the composition into something distinctly aromatic and herbal, like crushed green foliage meeting old timber.

What remains is primarily wood and resin—a dry, slightly bitter embrace of cedarwood and myrrh that becomes increasingly abstract and incense-like. The fragrance settles into a contemplative whisper, leaning heavily on oakmoss's earthy, slightly metallic character, creating an almost minimalist final statement that lingers as suggestion rather than declaration.
