29 FEBRUARY

You check the calendar twice before you trust it, a day that only shows up once every four years, and the air keeps pace with the occasion. Rosemary snaps in first, herbal and cool, before neroli lifts pale and citrus-bright, like something rare finally arriving on schedule.

Rosemary and neroli open together, sharp and slightly green, before galbanum deepens the register and sage settles in dry and aromatic. Lavender smooths the transition into something calmer, and by the time the scent has fully unfolded, labdanum, moss, vetiver, woody notes, and amber gather into a warm, resinous base that holds its shape for hours.

This is for the man who treats an ordinary Tuesday like it matters, an oriental fougère built for fall and winter, equally at ease behind a desk at noon or across a bar at midnight. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX, at 30% oils for an 8-10 hour trail.

Starts warm and near, easing into a comfortable 6-8 hour wear. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum, 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on coffee runs, weekend brunches, and the kind of afternoons that don't need a reason. Made for our Fall selection.
