About

Ellipse opens with a potent, almost sharp greenness from galbanum and wormwood, immediately grounding you in its earthy, aromatic core. Pine and oakmoss provide a rich, woody depth, evoking a deep forest floor. Hints of jasmine and rose soften the edges, while a subtle citrus brightness cuts through, preventing it from becoming too heavy. The dry-down settles into a sophisticated, mossy warmth, a truly complex and enduring chypre.
