Blue Talisman
Pear, bergamot and ginger over a synthetic frame: no raw timber, no resin, no vanilla — the depth is all ambroxan, akigalawood and musk. Eight materials, and a freshness that lasts instead of closing down.
California Dream
Four materials and no more: mandarin and pear set against ambrette and benzoin. None of the Californian shorthand, and the musky register comes from ambrette alone, in a clear eau of measured intensity.
