Wool

The starting point is a perfectly cozy sweater: the soft, sensual feel of cashmere against the skin, translated into a woody fragrance. It opens with grapefruit, a sparkling citrus that is bitter and sweet at once, giving the first moments some lift. Cedarwood and lavender come next; the dry core of the wood meets lavender's clean, herbal tone, forming a structure that keeps the scent from tipping into pure sweetness. The base holds amber, vetiver and bourbon vanilla. Amber's warmth and the rounded sweetness of vanilla are given shade by vetiver's earthy character, so the softness stays grounded. The result is sweet and warm without becoming heavy, with a plain, unfussy calm at its centre.
