The Story
Grise opens with a sophisticated burst of dewy rose and zesty bergamot, immediately establishing a refined, earthy elegance. As it settles, a rich heart of patchouli and crisp cedar wood emerges, grounding the floral freshness with deep, damp woods. The drydown reveals a classic chypre foundation of oakmoss, creamy sandalwood, and warm amber, leaving a powdery, mossy trail that feels timelessly chic.
