Scent Notes
Wheat, Davana, Immortelle Cedar, Tolu Balsam Styrax.
It begins with a distinctive grain-forward character—wheat and davana create an unusual, almost cereal-like warmth that immediately sets the tone for intimacy. These top notes are elegant without pretense, offering a natural sweetness that feels both grounded and inviting. The opening feels like stepping into a refined sanctuary.
The middle notes reveal the heart of Sacred Grain's complexity. Immortelle and cedar emerge to soften the grain's edge, introducing a subtle floral warmth and woody sophistication that deepens the composition. The cedar adds a composed, measured elegance—never overwhelming, always poised. This transition feels like the fragrance settling into its truest self, where intimacy becomes magnetic.
The base anchors everything with tolu balsam and styrax, creating a moderate composed projection that lingers for 6–8 hours. These warm, resinous notes provide subtle sillage—noticeable enough to leave an impression, restrained enough to feel personal. Versatile across all seasons with peak performance in warmer months, Sacred Grain becomes a second skin rather than a statement.
