Sycomore

Sycomore from Chanel, composed by Olivier Polge in 2022, is a woody fragrance that opens with a striking quartet: vetiver, cedar, iris, and vanilla, all wrapped in a leathery sheath. This top-note constellation defines the scent from the first spray, as there are no listed heart or base notes—the composition rests entirely on these five materials. The result is a dry, earthy vetiver lifted by powdery iris and a subtle vanilla sweetness, grounded by cedar and leather. The main accords—woody (100%), earthy (71%), aromatic (69%), powdery (59%), iris (56%), vanilla (56%)—confirm its linear, uncluttered character. Collectors who appreciate vetiver in its starkest form, from Guerlain's Vétiver to Lalique's Encre Noire, will find Sycomore a refined, almost architectural take. It suits those who prefer a scent that sits close to the skin, projecting quiet confidence rather than loud statement. Ideal for daytime wear in cooler months, or any occasion where understated elegance is key. Unisex in the truest sense.

Chanel Sycomore（2022）由 Olivier Polge 調配，屬木質調。前調以香根草、雪松、鳶尾、雲呢拿同皮革組成，由於無列出中調同基調，呢五種原料就係香氣嘅全部。香根草嘅乾燥泥土感，加上鳶尾嘅粉質同雲呢拿嘅微甜，再由雪松同皮革穩住，形成線性而純粹嘅結構。主和弦：木質100%、泥土71%、芳香69%、粉質59%、鳶尾56%、雲呢拿56%。適合鍾意香根草原始面貌嘅收藏家，氣質內斂、貼膚，唔張揚。冷天日間用最啱，中性。
