Hawthorne

Sandalwood appears repeatedly across this catalogue, acting as a steady anchor within a predominantly woody range. The wood is not treated as a single mood. It is surrounded by aromatic and powdery tones that soften its edges, as well as warm spicy accents that give the wood a drier, more resinous character. The result is a set of compositions that stay close to sandalwood’s creamy texture while allowing the surrounding accords to shift the atmosphere from cool and herbaceous to dry and heated.

The masculine leaning of the range is reflected in how these materials are balanced. Frozen Flame demonstrates how the house pairs sandalwood with sharper, more aromatic notes, keeping the wood present but allowing the cooler accents to lead. The overall effect across the catalogue is one of continuity, where the same core materials are rearranged to produce different nuances without moving far from the central wood.
