Description

The story behind this fragrance

Primitif opens with a bright, almost fizzy peach that crackles against aldehydes and bergamot—sharp and effervescent, like touching skin still warm from sun. The heart unfolds into a lush rose garden threaded with jasmine's indolic sweetness and lily-of-the-valley's green whisper, while ylang-ylang adds a creamy density beneath. As it settles, oakmoss and vetiver ground everything in soil and shadow, with amber and sandalwood emerging soft and powdery, anchored by musk and a dark animalic undertone from civet that keeps the sweetness from ever turning cloying.
