Not Me Not You But Everyone

What makes this chypre worth noticing is the unusual accord running through its top. Whisky and wine appear beside bitter orange and petitgrain, giving the citrus a distinctive layered character. Rosewood adds a dry, woody dimension to the pairing. The heart turns toward the gourmand with blackcurrant, creamy white chocolate, and wild honey, while the base grounds everything in oakmoss, patchouli, earthy notes, styrax, and a tincture of white ambergris the brand describes as aged for many years.

The evolution

The opening arrives sharp and grown-up. Bitter orange, Calabrian bergamot, and petitgrain cut bright across rosewood, with whisky and wine notes adding depth beneath the citrus. The top is crisp, polished, and lightly woody, establishing the fragrance's chypre framework. Then the heart takes over with blackcurrant, white chocolate, and wild honey. Fruit gives the composition a dark, tart accent, while the chocolate and honey introduce creamy and sweet textures. Oakmoss and patchouli bring earth, styrax adds a smoky resinous edge, and white ambergris keeps a mineral undertone present beneath the warmer notes. As the scent develops, the bright opening gradually gives way to the richer heart before settling into a layered base of moss, woods, resins, earth, and lingering sweetness.
