Philippe II

Philippe II opens with artemisia's herbal bite cut through bright bergamot and cinnamon warmth—sharp, almost medicinal. As it settles, lavender and geranium soften the edge into a spiced, floral middle that breathes like aged linen. The base emerges slow and earthy: vetiver root mingles with fir resin's piney grip and patchouli's dark undertone, creating something grounded, almost woody-mineral. It feels like history in a bottle—formal, composed, gently austere.
