Meander
A misty incense‑woody fragrance where peppery frankincense and green carrot heart melt into powdery orris and waxy florals, drying down to smooth sandalwood and vetiver for a soft, contemplative trail.
Scent Development and Character
Meander is a contemplative woody–incense composition that opens in a cool veil of frankincense brightened by peppery sparkle and the unusual, fruity‑mineral greenness of carrot heart. As it settles, powdery, rooty orris and a waxy floral nuance of rose and jonquille unfold over earthy cypriol, creating a misty, textural heart that feels like wet soil and pale petals. In the drydown, smooth sandalwood and clean vetiver fuse with resinous olibanum, leaving a soft, meditative trail of creamy woods, incense smoke and quiet greenery.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Meander wears as a quiet, introspective incense–woody scent with moderate diffusion and a smooth evolution from airy, peppered resins to creamy woods. It is refined enough for professional settings yet evocative and atmospheric for evening walks, rainy‑day reflection, or gallery visits, suiting both men and women who enjoy soft iris, sandalwood and frankincense compositions. Best suited to cool spring and autumn days when its misty incense, earthy roots and creamy woods feel most natural; it can also work in mild winter, but may be heavy in very hot, humid weather. Sillage is Sillage is moderate: it forms a soft, noticeable aura within arm’s length rather than a room‑filling trail, becoming more intimate as the sandalwood and vetiver dry down. Longevity is Longevity is generally above average for an incense–woody eau de parfum, with many wearers reporting 8–10 hours on skin and a slow fade into a persistent skin scent. These are editorial estimates derived from the official composition and concentration and will vary with skin and climate.
