Perseus
Description
The story behind this fragrance
Bergamot and grapefruit burst open with a tart green snap, quickly shadowed by black currant's dark berry depth. Perseus settles into a grassy, slightly peppery vetiver heart where green mandarin adds a clean citrus thread and geranium whispers a soft floral edge. The base emerges slowly—tonka bean brings creamy warmth while dry wood, cedar, and balsam fir layer into a cool, resinous skeleton. Ambergris softens the woody structure with a whisper of skin-like amber, and cashmere wood adds a final velvet touch until only cedar and the faintest vanilla-tinged warmth linger at the pulse points.
