Description
The story behind this fragrance
Metropolis opens with a bracing splash of citrus and herbs—lavender and neroli bright against juniper's dry spine, peppermint cutting through mandarin sweetness with a green snap. The heart softens into spiced florals, carnation and geranium warmed by cinnamon and clove, while wormwood and tarragon thread an herbal backbone through the sweetness. As it settles, leather and vetiver emerge from beneath, grounding the composition in earthy, slightly animalic warmth. Sandalwood and cedar deepen the woody base, moss and patchouli adding soil-like texture, until ambergris and musk wrap everything in a subtle amber glow that lingers on skin.
