Mood: Nature’s silent reclamation — lush vines choking marble pillars, sunlight filtering through cracked glass, the scent of earth swallowing a legacy.
Family: Botanical Green / Mineral Musk / Floral Decay
🔝 Top — The Botanical Takeover (the first breath of fresh rot)
- Galbanum → the “green flash” — sharp, bitter, and resinous overgrowth.
- Aldehyde C-11 → the “glass and steam” — metallic ozone and airy coldness.
- Neroli → the “ghost of luxury” — a bright, vintage floral echo of the mansion's past.
💖 Heart — The Living Wreckage
- Ivy & Vine accord → the “reclamation” — thick, sap-heavy, and tangled greenery.
- Tomato leaf absolute → vegetal volume — earthy, dark green, and vibrant.
- Oakmoss absolute → the “Birkin core” — inky, damp, forest-floor earthiness.
🖤 Base — The Earthy Aftermath
- Ambrette seed CO2 → the “skin echo” — a botanical musk that mimics warm, lived-in skin.
- Patchouli fraction → clean decay — dry, woody earth and the smell of ancient dust.
- Mineral / Concrete accord → the “wreckage” — wet stone and cold, damp marble surfaces.
