🌿 The Inspiration: The Landscape
The smell of the "Maquis"—the dense, aromatic shrubland of Sardinia. Mediterranean Shrub blends all the wild herbs together: juniper, myrtle, mastic, and rosemary. It is green, resinous, and untamed.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Green Chaos
It opens with a complex blend of Juniper, Myrtle, and Rosemary. It smells like crushed plants. The heart is Mastic Resin (Lentisque)—green and sticky. The base is Oakmoss and Earth.
