OHTOP ohsphalte

OHTOP ohsphalte imagines floral suede against cold concrete: orange blossom and iris soften the mineral surface, while vetiver, guaiac wood, labdanum, patchouli and musk deepen its dark dry structure.

Profile: Woody musky mineral.

Notes: concrete, suede, musk, orange blossom, vetiver, guaiac wood, labdanum, iris, patchouli.

Evolution: Cold concrete and suede threaded with orange blossom, iris, vetiver, guaiac wood, labdanum, musk and patchouli.

Best for: For someone who finds beauty in brutalist buildings, worn suede and the geometry of an overcast city; it belongs on a design-museum visit or a solitary walk through modern architecture. The cold concrete effect is intentional; lovers of conventionally cozy woods are likely to feel alienated by its industrial chill.

Origin: France.

Longevity: 6–8 hours.
