Atardecer

A cave, a storm, a Havana cigar and the first light of sunset. Atardecer, Spanish for sunset, is a show-stopping extrait from Navitus that opens with green fig, violet leaves and Mexican tuberose, deepens into a trio of Laotian, Bangladeshi and Indian oud, and warms to Papantla vanilla, Chiapas coffee, Veracruz tobacco and oakmoss. The StoryCrafted by master perfumer Christian Carbonnel with creative direction from Eduardo Garcia de Alba of MyScentJourney, Atardecer (2024) draws on Mexican ingredients. The brand's inspiration is a memory from March 1997: walking through a forest as the sky rumbles and turns grey, sheltering in a cave in the mountainside that smells of cold, mineral rock and millennia, watching rain fall as if from a window, and the aroma of wet earth filling the senses. A fire is lit to prepare coffee, a jacket still carries traces of a favourite leather-and-violet-leaf perfume, a Havana cigar saved for a special moment is lit, and its smoke mingles with the intoxicating tuberose she wears, as they wait for the rain to pass and the sunset to begin. How It SmellsOpening Green fig and violet leaves with Mexican tuberose, fresh and leafy before the storm of oud arrives. Heart An oud trifecta of Laotian, Indian and Bangladeshi oud, followed by a cool, mineral accord of wet earth, smoke, leather and cedar. Dry Down The base warms with Papantla vanilla, Chiapas coffee, Veracruz tobacco and oakmoss.
