Recedere opens with an unusual contrast between bittersweet licorice and dark plum before revealing a damp mineral undertone. As it settles on skin, rich resinous styrax and a touch of clean neroli balance the deep woodiness of cedar and oakmoss. The defining character comes from a distinctive wet plaster note that smells like rain hit fresh concrete in an artist studio. This is an avant-garde scent built for cool autumn afternoons and rain-slicked city streets. It suits collectors who appreciate earthy, architectural fragrances over standard crowd-pleasers. Wear it with tailored coats or raw denim when you want a quiet, brooding presence. Show less
