About

Hortus opens with a zesty burst of Sicilian lemon and orange, intertwined with the sweetness of violet and the aromatic lift of lavender. This vibrant citrus dance is softened by delicate osmanthus and freesia, creating a fresh yet floral vibe. As you drift into the heart, the fragrance blooms into a rich tapestry of peach and cherry blossoms, with ylang-ylang and lotus adding a lush depth. The base settles into a warm, woody embrace, where the richness of sandalwood and the earthiness of oak and birch support the lingering musk, offering a sense of calm and grounded elegance.
