Acqua di Giò Elixir

Bergamot and mandarin fade fast into a base of patchouli, leather and vetiver thickened by labdanum. The marine facet slips underneath rather than disappearing — this is the line after dark.

Explorer

Bergamot, vetiver then patchouli follow one green, earthy line, tightened by ambroxan and akigalawood. Leather is only a dry texture here: a straightforward aromatic wood with a long trail.
