Wind of the Great Steppe
herbal notes · davana · wormwood
Wind of the Great Steppe opens on a green, aromatic note, where wormwood and mint draw a dry freshness, lifted by cumin and saffron. A heart of wildflowers and violet softens the structure, while leather, vetiver, patchouli and cedar settle into the base with an animalic warmth. Wear it in spring, as the air warms, or in autumn, when the first cold days invite you to wrap yourself in it.
