What it is: A fragrance with an olfactory expression of the value of time.

Fragrance story: : Reasons by Bertrand Duchaufour Cause and effect. Echoes of thought. A sequence of events. When it first emerges, Reasons is somewhat unassuming: its hazelnut opening presents a warmth that is comforting but also perhaps surprisingly unostentatious. But within moments, the scent grows taking on an increasingly grander form. The part-herbaceous part-fruity personality of davana creates layer upon layer of depth and complexity. Finally, the smoky woodiness of palo santo introduces a grounding resonant earthiness rooting the whole in a sense of timeless harmonious stability. With tremendous complexity and gravitas, Reasons conveys the idea that although the past may be gone, its effects live on forever supporting the present while giving it meaning depth and value.

Style: Woody and aromatic.
