If you lose yourself beneath the night sky, you might just find your way among the stars. At the heart of this perfume is a play between a luminous Lebanese gardenia enfleurage and a green and leathery Indonesian oud. The scent awakens with the spark of Sichuan pepper and red mandarin mingled with soft and radiant neroli oil and jasmine Sambac absolute. These floral notes weave a delicate bridge between innocence and elegance. We have sourced the 2024 vintage of an artisan Lebanese gardenia enfleurage which has a sublime floral glow, a plum-like depth and a bright goji berry facet which envelops the oud and animalic facets of this composition. As the fragrance settles, Indonesian oud with a distinct earthy note evokes shadowy forests bathed in starlight, while the Himalayan cedarwood and oakmoss tease out the richness of the gardenia and add a tactile depth. This perfume is delicate yet primal and a compelling interplay of light and shadow and a quiet promise of finding your way back home under the night sky.
