Pierre de Velay Extrait No. 23

Pierre de Velay Extrait No. 23 arrives as a bright shower of citrus and aldehydes—bergamot and mandarin dancing with orange blossom's powdery warmth. The heart unfolds into spiced florals: violet and cloves anchor a creamy, almost honeyed mass of jasmine and ylang-ylang. What settles is a rich, layered base where oakmoss and vetiver ground tobacco's smoky whisper, while tonka bean and vanilla weave through leather and sandalwood. Civet and ambergris add skin-close depth; benzoin's resinous amber glow lingers longest, carried on cedar smoke and the faint sweetness of labdanum.
