Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Top Notes
Basil · Bergamot · Fig · Juniper · Leaf · Orange · Rosemary
Heart Notes
Freesia · Hedione · Jasmine · Orris
Base Notes
Ambroxan · Cashmeran · Iso E Super · Labdanum · Musk
The top notes arrive as a crisp burst of juniper, bergamot, rosemary, and fig leaf—a green, aromatic awakening with subtle citrus warmth. Orange and basil add layered complexity, making those opening moments feel both fresh and inviting. The composition feels bright without sharpness, herbaceous without severity.
As the fragrance settles, cypress and hedione emerge alongside iris and freesia, creating a creamy, almost powdery heart. Jasmine adds soft floral elegance, while the woody base begins to anchor the composition. This transition is seamless—the fragrance never jolts, instead unfolding like a warm conversation.
The base reveals the soul of Essencial 05: cashmeran, ambroxan, and musk create a creamy, intimate skin-close trail that lingers for 6–8 hours. Iso E Super and mastic add depth and subtle spice, while labdanum rounds out the finish with soft, resinous warmth. Sillage remains noticeable yet intimate—present enough to be discovered, restrained enough to feel personal.
