Fragrance Profile:
A unisex chypre-woody fragrance with aromatic and resinous depth. The Roman numeral "XVI" suggests something numbered, exclusive, perhaps from a special collection. Mysterious, complex, and deliberately vague in its heart - built for connoisseurs who appreciate the obscure.
XVI opens with an aromatic contrast. Artemisia (wormwood) provides a bitter, green, slightly medicinal herbaceousness - classic in vintage chypre structures. Bergamot offers its usual bright, fresh citrus, but here it feels tempered by the darkness of artemisia.
The heart is deliberately undisclosed - "mixed of rare plants." This suggests botanical obscurity, perhaps rare absolutes or concretes, wild-harvested materials, or a proprietary blend of unusual green and herbal notes. The effect is complex, ever-shifting, and intentionally mysterious.
The base is dense with rare and classic materials. Patchouli provides dark, earthy richness. Juniper adds a gin-like, piney freshness. Olibanum brings smoky incense. Balsam adds sweet, resinous warmth. Caraway introduces a surprising spicy, slightly anise-like nuance. Cyperus scariosus (a type of sedge, also known as Nagarmotha) offers a smoky, earthy, vetiver-like complexity - highly prized in niche perfumery. Guaiac Wood adds a smoky, slightly rosy woodiness. Labdanum ties everything together with ambered, leathery warmth.
