Mea Culpa

Sharp green ivy and bitter cassis arrive first, cut with bright bergamot and the peppery snap of calamus, while narcissus adds a clean, almost soapy florality. The heart deepens into heady tuberose and ylang-ylang, warmed by nutmeg's spice and grounded by rose and jasmine's velvety embrace. As it settles, oakmoss and vetiver emerge with earthy gravitas, layered with creamy sandalwood and tonka bean's caramel warmth, while castoreum and civet add an animalic, skin-close musk that pulls everything into shadow. Mea Culpa lingers as a dry, resinous blend of patchouli and labdanum, vanilla fading beneath the cool grip of vetiver and the faint mineral bite of oakmoss.
