Force

Force takes its inspiration from energy present throughout the universe, from living beings to apparently still objects. Cypress and mint, licorice and cocoa, fir and leather create contrasts that move between coolness and warmth. The result has more opposition than a uniformly heavy wood.

Cypress, spearmint, licorice and cocoa reveal cooling freshness and bitter sweetness together. Fir balsam, myrrh, moss and orris add depth at the heart. Incense and suede meet earthy patchouli, while vanilla rounds the firmer edges of smoke and leather.

It fits woods and leather with the additional contrast of cool mint and cocoa. Quietly coloured outerwear or an evening outing can complement the texture; begin with a small amount.

Jasper Li created this eau de parfum, dated to 2023. The selected 50mL bottle has a thick clear glass base, a black cylindrical cap and a tall white label.
