Adonis | Wood–Gourmand

Intense. Intoxicating.

A fragrance inspired by Adonis — the mortal god symbolising desire, strength, beauty, and the passion for life itself.

Adonis opens with aromatic basil and cool eucalyptus before unfolding into a rich heart of dark coffee. Warm spices, earthy patchouli, smooth sandalwood, and vetiver create a sensual, magnetic depth that lingers long after first impression.

Bold yet comforting, Adonis embodies quiet intensity — a presence that feels composed and self-assured, while concealing unexpected emotional depth beneath the surface.

Perfumer’s Journal

“With Adonis, I wanted to create a fragrance that embodied magnetic presence — the kind of person who draws others in effortlessly without needing to demand attention.

The inspiration came from Adonis, a figure associated with beauty, desire, vitality, and emotional complexity. I was fascinated by the idea that true strength often exists alongside softness, sensitivity, and hidden vulnerability.

At the centre of the composition is coffee — warm, addictive, comforting, and deeply sensual. Around it, spices and woods create an atmosphere that feels grounded, intimate, and quietly powerful. The aromatic freshness in the opening gives way to a darker, richer warmth that settles close to the skin.

To me, Adonis is for those who appear calm, composed, and irresistible on the outside, yet carry profound emotion and depth within. People with layers that reveal themselves only to those truly close to them.

There is always more than meets the eye.”
