Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opening with a brisk, peppery bergamot, Widdringtonia quickly transitions into a green, herbal heart where artemisia and sage intertwine with a hint of spicy nutmeg. The true star is the base: a medley of woody notes, prominent cedar, and vetiver, creating an evocative scent of a damp, clean forest. It's earthy, smooth, and surprisingly sophisticated for its origins.
