First Impression Memo Paris Inverness

🔥

What I am loving most is how it doesn’t project. It stays close, almost private. Then every so often, a soft waft rises up, just enough to remind me it’s there. Quiet, intentional, reassuring.

There’s something here that echoes Gris Charnel, that same calm, woody introspection, but Inverness leans cooler and more austere. Part of that comes from its use of maté absolute and amyris, notes you don’t see often, which give the woods an earthy, slightly bitter edge and a smooth, aged warmth. The result feels dignified and timeless, like stepping into an antique museum. Polished wood, old stone, hushed air, time slowing down.

It brings a kind of tranquility that isn’t cozy. It’s grounding.

A scent for stillness, inward focus, and moments where silence says more than volume ever could.
