the trail a scent keeps in a room after you have gone
A night-blooming botanical. Eau de parfum, opened at dusk.
the first light
Bergamot, cold-pressed
Green rind and a thread of oil, bright for a breath before the dark takes it back.
the bloom, opening in the dark
Night jasmine
Sambac unfurling in the warm hours, saffron drawn through it like a wire. The flower the night is named for.
what lingers
Oud and amber
Aged wood and resin kept low against the skin, the warmth that stays long after the flowers have gone quiet.
What remains is the sillage.

No. 1 — Night Jasmine
A night-blooming botanical, composed to be opened at dusk. It wears close for the first hour, then leaves the room slowly — the trail it keeps is the point.

where it begins
Picked in the dark, in Grasse
Sambac jasmine gives up the most of itself in the hours before dawn, so it is harvested by hand between three and sunrise, while the flower is still open. It takes roughly eight thousand blossoms to draw a single gram of the absolute at the heart of this scent.
