A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Lavender and citrus burst forth with herbal clarity, the rosemary adding a slightly medicinal snap that feels almost bracing. Within moments, you catch glimpses of the tobacco underneath—a dusty sweetness emerging from behind the green notes.
The composition pivots entirely here as rosewood becomes the dominant voice, developing a honeyed richness that's remarkably woody yet soft. The clary sage and coriander seed create a subtle spice that dances against tonka's creeping vanilla warmth, whilst the tobacco settles into a more prominent, leathery presence.
Cistus, benzoin, and black musk form a quietly amber-tinged base that's more mineral and resinous than sweet. The woods become increasingly prominent whilst the tonka fades to background comfort, leaving something that smells almost soapy and precious—intimate rather than projective.
Tomo arrives as a deceptively fresh proposition—lavender and citrus suggesting something brisk and herbaceous—before revealing itself as a deeply contemplative composition that pulls you inward rather than projecting outward. The Brazilian rosewood forms the true spine of this fragrance, lending a honeyed woodiness that refuses to be merely decorative; it plays against the blond tobacco with an almost tactile warmth, as though you're standing in a sun-drenched room lined with cedar and aged leather. Clary sage and coriander seed introduce a peppery, slightly mineral quality that prevents the composition from surrendering entirely to sweetness, though the tonka bean and benzoin are unmistakably present, softening edges with vanilla-amber comfort.
This is a fragrance for the contemplative dresser—someone who doesn't require their scent to announce their presence but who appreciates a composition with genuine interior life. The sweet and spicy accords dominate (100% and 88% respectively), yet the woody base keeps everything grounded, preventing any cloying drift. It's the sort of scent that reveals itself gradually to those close enough to seek it out, rather than broadcasting from across a room. The precious woods and cistus in the base suggest mineral, almost soapy undertones that prevent the amber from becoming treacly.
