What does Lentisque smell like?

Lentisque is a fragrant portrait of a sun-drenched Mediterranean hillside, defined by the sharp, resinous aroma of the mastic tree. The opening is intensely green and bracing, thanks to a heavy dose of galbanum that mimics the scent of crushed leaves and snapped stems. This isn't a soft, floral green; it is herbaceous, earthy, and raw, leaning into the bitter realism of wild scrubland. As the fragrance settles, the mastic evolves from a fresh resin into a deeper, more concentrated absolute. This heart is supported by dry woods and the slightly ambery warmth of labdanum, which prevents the fragrance from becoming too cold. The dry down introduces a sturdy foundation of cedar and vetiver, rounded out by a clean musk and a touch of ambergris. Wearing Lentisque feels like walking through a dry evergreen forest at high noon—it is airy, botanical, and profoundly naturalistic.

Does Lentisque smell like a typical forest fragrance?+

Not exactly. While it contains cedar and vetiver, the focus is on the mastic and galbanum. This gives it a "garrigue" or coastal scrubland feel—bitter, resinous, and herbal—rather than a damp, pine-heavy forest.
