Thai basil gives it a green, crushed-herb lift, Nepalese timut pepper brings sparkling peppery and grapefruit facets, and Haitian vetiver adds an earthy backbone. The signature is akigalawood — an upcycled patchouli derivative that smells like polished cedar, pepper, and clean musk — supported by Georgywood, Petalia, Indonesian patchouli, and Ambrofix. Diffusive, luminous, and easy to wear in almost any setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposed by Quentin Bisch for Essential Parfums in 2020. Notably it's a 16% concentration and 93% natural origin, in a refillable bottle. Reviewers call it a four-season workhorse — office, daytime, evening — with above-average projection and longevity. It has its detractors, mostly people who find the akigalawood too loud, so sampling first is fair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorth noting: Essential Parfums publishes this as a blended ingredient list rather than a top\/heart\/base pyramid, so it's listed that way below rather than split into tiers that don't officially exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull bottles are 100ml and run about $130, with 150ml refills available.

Grapefruit concentrate, pink pepper, and rhubarb open it bright and almost deceptively fruity, then the green heart takes over — smoked thyme, galbanum, and artemisia, with ylang-ylang softening the edges. The dry down is where it turns: akigalawood, vetiver, myrrh resin, and tobacco settle into a smoky, resinous haze.

Marine notes, tangelo, coconut, pomelo, lavender, and bergamot open it, then seaweed, geranium, yarrow, sage, black pepper, and cinnamon build a spicier, more aromatic heart than the EDP ever had. Incense, Ambrofix, amberwood, patchouli, cashmeran, tonka bean, and musk anchor the base. The result is a darker, damper freshness — still aquatic, but heavier and less sweet, with coconut and lavender reading prominently and incense giving the dry down real weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposed by Doug Falcone. Reception is genuinely split: some wearers prefer this richer direction, while fans of the brighter original consider it a step sideways. Several compare the profile to older-batch YSL Le Parfum.
