Strawberry Moon

What makes Strawberry Moon unusual is the leather placement. In most fragrances, leather arrives late, anchoring the drydown. Here, it starts alongside the jasmine, sun-tanned from the first spray, not acquired later. The bergamot and pink pepper keep the florals from going heavy, while the vetiver and iris in the base add a powdery earthiness that stays close to the skin. The combination creates a fragrance that reads differently at arm's length than it does inches away.

The evolution

The opening hits bright, bergamot first, then jasmine settling in like warm air. Within the first hour, the leather surfaces. Not heavy, not aggressive. Worn. The saffron and pink pepper add a warmth that keeps the florals from floating away. By hour two, the jasmine has softened and the drydown takes over: vetiver, iris, and amberwood doing the quiet work of staying close. On some skin, the iris lingers into the next morning. The fragrance unfolds in clear stages, each phase distinct yet connected, so the transition from the bright opening through the textured heart into the deeper drydown feels inevitable rather than abrupt.
