Synthetic Nature
About
A green floral fragrance with a cool opening of lily of the valley, basil, and black currant. Jasmine, hyacinth, and ylang-ylang shape the heart, while patchouli adds dry depth in the base. On skin it feels fresh, sharp, and structured.
Synthetic Nature opens with damp greenery: lily of the valley and basil create a cool, crisp start, while black currant adds a tart, juicy edge. In the first minutes it smells like crushed green stems and cool air after rain. In the heart, jasmine softens the composition, while hyacinth and ylang-ylang bring a denser, slightly spicy floral tone without turning powdery-sweet. The scent stays vivid and graphic, with its green contour lasting clearly instead of fading into the background. In the base, patchouli adds a dry, earthy depth and pulls everything into a steadier, more confident trail. It feels tailored to anyone who enjoys modern green florals with a defined character. It wears especially well in daytime and transitional seasons, when you want freshness with structure.
