Messire, a citrus masculine creation by Jean d’Albret, combines verbena and bergamot in the top notes with a heart of lavender and coriander, before settling into a woody, amber base of sandalwood, benzoin, rosewood and oakmoss.
Verbena, lemony and fresh, and bergamot, fruity and fresh, share this freshness that dominates the top notes, one leaning toward lemon, the other toward fruit.
Coriander, sharp and fresh, meets lavender, floral and fresh, on this same register in the heart: freshness connects them, though their expression differs.
Amber and oakmoss meet on seaweed, oakmoss and rosewood on wood, and amber and rosewood also on wood: in the base, these connections form two by two.
