Key Fragrance Notes:

Top: Bergamot, Fig, Bay Leaf
Heart: Cedar, Vetiver, Musk
Base: Black Tea, Tobacco, Hay

Ténèbre opens with bergamot, fig, and bay leaf, combining citrus brightness, soft fruit, and an aromatic edge. Cedar, vetiver, and musk give the heart a dry woody structure. Black tea, tobacco, and hay deepen the base with leafy and smoky textures. The composition moves from a brighter fig introduction toward a darker tea and woody finish, keeping the fruit as a soft contrast rather than turning the fragrance into a sweet gourmand.

Summary

Ténèbre is a dry woody-aromatic fragrance that moves from bergamot, fig, and bay leaf into cedar, vetiver, tea, tobacco, and hay. Bergamot brightens the opening, while fig adds a softer fruit facet and bay leaf introduces herbal dryness. Cedar and vetiver shape the heart with a clean woody structure, and musk smooths the transition without making the profile especially soft. Black tea and tobacco give the drydown a tannic, earthy darkness, while hay adds a dry grassy texture that reinforces the rustic character. It should suit shoppers who enjoy fig and tea but prefer them in a woody, tobacco-led framework rather than a sweet gourmand treatment. The overall effect is dry, aromatic, and quietly distinctive.
