The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
024 arrived in 2022. Grapefruit leads, dipped into bergamot and lemon essential oils, giving the composition a vivid citrus character. Its brightness is balanced by lavender absolute and cyclamen, with Java vetiver, Indonesian patchouli, and Atlas cedar adding depth below the surface. Together, the notes move between sparkling citrus, soft botanical florals, and grounded woody textures. Grapefruit supplies a crisp opening impression, while bergamot and lemon keep it lively. Lavender absolute and cyclamen introduce smoother, greener notes, and the vetiver, patchouli, and cedar lend the composition an earthy, aromatic foundation.
What's interesting about 024 is the interplay between Java vetiver, Indonesian patchouli, citrus, lavender absolute, and cyclamen. Grapefruit gives the composition its clearest opening accent, while bergamot and lemon add further brightness. As the citrus character softens, the floral and herbal notes become more apparent. Lavender absolute contributes an herbal quality, and cyclamen adds a delicate floral touch. Atlas cedar and vetiver bring structure beneath them, creating a counterweight to the fruit and citrus. Patchouli adds another earthy dimension.
The evolution
024 opens with the energetic character of grapefruit, bergamot, and lemon, creating a crisp and sparkling impression. Cyclamen and peony contribute soft floral notes, with a green sweetness that complements the sharper citrus. Lavender absolute adds an herbal facet as the composition develops. Cedarwood and Java vetiver contribute woody and earthy depth, giving the fragrance a more substantial foundation. The citrus, floral, herbal, and woody elements remain distinct while also blending into a unified composition. As the fragrance wears, it moves from a bright opening toward a layered middle and a grounded close. Atlas cedar and Indonesian patchouli add further texture, while the overall impression remains balanced between freshness, soft florals, and earthy woods.
Cultural impact
024 combines citrus brightness with lavender absolute, cyclamen, peony, Atlas cedar, Java vetiver, and Indonesian patchouli. Grapefruit, bergamot, and lemon create a lively opening, while the floral and herbal notes give the composition a softer center. Cedar, vetiver, and patchouli contribute a grounded foundation beneath the brighter citrus profile. Together, the ingredients create a polished citrus-aromatic fragrance with layers of fresh fruit, greenery, floral softness, and woody texture.
