Te Pō is the night. In te ao Māori it is the realm the world came from, the long dark that holds everything before it takes form. It is the flagship of the house and the only one that comes in 100ml. It is also the softest of the four. Milk, cardamom and ginger open it warm rather than sharp, then iris, violet, sandalwood and cedarwood give it a powdery, woody middle. The base of cashmere wood, amberwood, nagarmotha and white musks keeps it close to the skin. Quiet and enveloping, more of a texture than a statement. The one to wear in the evening, or on the days you want something that only the people near you will notice. Composed as an extrait de parfum, the most concentrated format there is, so it lasts.
