Why It Works
No 1 is a masterclass in classic fragrance construction. The lavender-rosemary opening is immediately familiar yet never generic, while the carnation-cinnamon heart adds a warmth and spice that keeps the composition interesting. The base — cedarwood, sandalwood, oakmoss, patchouli, leather, and musk — is rich and complex, with the oakmoss lending a vintage, chypre-adjacent quality that feels genuinely distinguished. Available in 30ml and 50ml, it’s a versatile choice whether you’re discovering the scent or restocking a favourite.
