Description

The story behind this fragrance

Balafre opens with a sharp green bite—cypress and bergamot cutting through soft lavender and chamomile, neroli adding a whisper of brightness. The heart deepens into forest floor: pine needles and cedar emerge alongside spiced carnation and geranium, clary sage lending an herbaceous, almost medicinal edge. As it settles, oakmoss and vetiver ground the composition in earthy warmth, while leather and musk create a subtle, skin-close finish, amber threading through the drydown until only dry cedar and moss linger.
