Zrnic spent about three years on it, working almost entirely with natural materials. Most vetivers read sharp or smoky; here Mexican lime, Japanese yuzu and Italian bergamot lift it, pink pepper and green cardamom warm it, and beeswax absolute rounds it off. The aim, in the house's words, was something timeless rather than trendy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-venba-scent-character\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoody\u003c\/strong\u003e: 33%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFresh\u003c\/strong\u003e: 33%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpicy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweet\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/em\u003e woody and fresh in equal measure.
