🌲 The Inspiration: The Trees
The gnarled cedar trees growing on the volcanic slopes. Ancient Cedar Grove takes the base note of the original and amplifies it. It is dry, woody, and resinous. A masculine take on the Panarea theme.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Dry Wood
Virginia Cedar and Juniper Wood dominate. Myrtle adds a green top note. The base is Vetiver and Amber. It smells like a sauna or a woodshop.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Timber
-
Virginia Cedarwood: Dry and pencil-like.
-
Juniper Wood: Aromatic and pepper-like.
-
Myrtle: The freshness.
🧠 The Scent Psychology: Stability
Woody scents make you feel grounded. Ancient Cedar Grove projects reliability and strength. It is a "rock" in the storm.
🇬🇧 The London Lab Technology
We used Iso E Super to give the heavy woods a velvet-like texture and radiance. It ensures the scent projects well without feeling heavy.

💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"This is for the man who finds the original too floral or aquatic. This is dry, serious wood. It smells timeless and classic."
