Sur Mesure Noir

The sharpness of bergamot hits first, quickly tempered by a dry heat from pimento berries and cinnamon. It feels structured and clean, moving away from bright citrus into a heart of lavender and mahonial that lends a soft, aromatic powderiness. As the elemi and patchouli take hold, the scent pivots into a grounded, woody silhouette defined by cedar, sandalwood, and vetiver. An amber undertone rounds off the edges, providing a lingering warmth that stays close to the skin without becoming cloying in the midday humidity.
