Francois Charles

Pink pepper and cardamom spark first, followed by bright waves of bergamot, grapefruit, and tangerine that feel almost candied. Anise and cinnamon add warmth and spice to the citrus burst, while melon and pineapple soften the edges with green-tinged sweetness. As it settles, lavender and orange blossom emerge alongside rose and jasmine, grounding the brightness in a floral middle. Francois Charles then deepens into caramel and amber, where vetiver and ebony tree create a dry, woody spine beneath creamy sandalwood and vanilla. Patchouli and labdanum add earthiness to the closing, until only warm amber, cedar, and a whisper of musk linger on skin.
