Crop 2018
A limited, harvest-based woody extrait built around palo santo and certified oud, Crop 2018 moves from gently citrus-tinted freshness into a smoky, resinous wood heart and a warm, softly musky drydown, retaining a natural, contemplative character throughout.
Scent Development and Character
Crop 2018 opens with a bright yet measured citrus freshness that quickly meets the dry, resinous depth of palo santo, giving the fragrance a smoky-woody glow rather than overt sweetness. As it develops, the certified oud core comes forward in a smooth, balsamic manner, intertwining with the santo’s incense-like facets to create a contemplative, meditative wood accord. In the late drydown the scent settles into a warm, slightly creamy woody haze with soft musky undertones, maintaining a natural, resin-laden character rather than turning gourmand or heavily ambery.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
The natural, incense-like wood focus and measured projection make Crop 2018 well suited to evening wear, quiet social settings, or introspective moments where a refined woody aura is preferred over loud sweetness. Its contemplative mood and oud-palo santo pairing can also work in colder daytime environments, especially for wearers who appreciate meditative, resinous woods. Best suited to autumn and winter, where its warm, resinous woods and oud feel comforting and meditative; it can also work on cooler spring days for those who enjoy contemplative woody scents, but is likely too dense for hot, humid summer conditions. Sillage is Projection is likely moderate: noticeable within arm’s length in the first few hours due to the resinous woods and oud, then settling closer to the skin as a soft, meditative woody aura rather than a room-filling trail. Longevity is As a natural extrait built around oud and palo santo, Crop 2018 can be expected to offer above-average longevity, typically lasting most of the day on skin with a smoother, slower fade rather than a sharp drop-off.
