Composition

The heart

Cedar brings a clean, dry wood, reminiscent of pencil shavings, with a resinous base. Sea water introduces an iodized freshness, close to sea spray. Salt, a mineral note, usually evokes skin dried by the sun after a swim and that crystalline feeling of the shoreline.

Woody family

The woody classification stems from cedar, a dry and upright essence whose scent of cut shavings often structures the accords of this family. Around this wood, sea water and salt pull the composition toward the coastline, with their iodized and mineral accents, echoing the nautical inspiration claimed by Xerjoff.
