Vert des Bois

Poplar buds crack open with green, almost resinous brightness—sharp and slightly medicinal—while plum's stone-fruit tartness and anise's licorice whisper keep the opening from veering austere. Olive tree adds a subtle leaf-bitter undertone. The heart softens into mastic's piney resin and jasmine's creamy floral, a cushion between the green austerity and the warm base emerging below. Tonka bean's vanilla sweetness gradually anchors everything, threading through woody amber and patchouli's earthy, faintly spiced drydown until only warm wood and faint tonka linger at the wrists.
