Esprit du Roi

Esprit du Roi opens with a sharp, herbal brightness—lemon and citron cut through artemisia and tomato leaf, while cardamom and aldehydes add a powdery, almost ozonic lift. Mint cools the edges as the composition settles into its heart, where cloves and ylang-ylang bloom alongside jasmine's creamy throat, grounded by geranium's green spice. The base emerges slowly: vetiver and Virginia cedar anchor the drift, while sandalwood and oak moss create a soft, earthy bed. A whisper of raspberry lingers at the edges, deepened by musk and patchouli's resinous warmth, leaving ambergris to glow faintly beneath.
