The Scent Journey
The Scent of Peace opens with a bright burst of grapefruit and caraway, followed by an unexpected herbal hit of basil that immediately grounds the composition in botanical territory. The heart develops into a beautifully rendered green accord — grass-like, fresh, and distinctly natural-smelling — alongside green tea and violet leaf. This heart is the star of the fragrance, creating an almost garden-like experience. As it settles, earthy vetiver emerges alongside patchouli and moss, creating a solid, grounding base that feels like standing in rich soil. The overall progression is from bright and herbal to deep and green, without ever becoming heavy.
