Brasa

The composition turns a familiar dinner gathering into something more expressive. Anise and Sicilian lemon bring a sharp, aromatic opening, while clove, cachaça, and cardamom create warmth with a pulse of tension. Tobacco adds depth, while tonka bean and praline introduce a dark sweetness that feels less dessert-like than rounded and smoky. Together, the notes carry the fragrance from a lively citrus-and-spice opening into a denser, warmer drydown. The sweetness of tonka bean and praline softens the sharper spice notes, while tobacco gives the later stages a deeper, smoky character.

The evolution

Brasa begins with a bright, aromatic snap. Sicilian lemon brings a clean citrus gleam that keeps the first impression alert, while anise adds its own aromatic character to the opening. As that brightness softens, the heart becomes more tactile: clove adds a sharp, almost medicinal warmth, cachaça brings rounded spirit-like richness, and cardamom adds a dry, fragrant lift. The combination gives the early stages a clear structure before the fragrance gradually moves toward tobacco and a dark sweet base. Tonka bean and praline take over slowly, rounding the composition with a deep sweetness that sits beneath the warmer spice notes. Tobacco adds depth as the drydown develops, leaving the fragrance warm, smoky, and close, with the different notes becoming more blended as time passes.
