Pierre de Velay No. 47

Pierre de Velay No. 47 opens with sharp bergamot and clary sage that bite clean, followed by a whisper of lemon brightness. The heart softens into creamy violet and ylang-ylang, touched by jasmine's honeyed warmth. As it settles, oakmoss and birch establish an earthy spine while tonka bean and vanilla bloom sweetly, threaded through with clove's subtle spice and sandalwood's dry wood grain. Castoreum and civet add a faint animalic depth; saffron and tolu balsam lend resinous warmth. The composition rests on cedar and guaiac wood, leaving a lingering amber-musk fade tinged with leather and spice.
