The Elder Is Also A Tree

The Elder Is Also A Tree by Scents of Man is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. The Elder Is Also A Tree was launched in 2025. The nose behind this fragrance is Andrea Byrne. Top notes are Bergamot, Mandarin, Elderberry and Blackberry; middle notes are Gorse, Orris, Candied Fruits and Vanilla; base notes are Tuberose, Cedarwood, Vetiver and Benzoin. This is a lighter-touch perfume than many of the fruity gourmands. It opens with a touch of watermelon freshness that drifts into a deeper accord of elderberry and blackberry. These remain bright and lively, lifted by mandarin, bergamot, and grapefruit — a citrus trio that continues a clean edge.As the oils warm on skin, the berries deepen, revealing candied fruit, soft vanilla, and a delicate trace of orris. There is a nutty warmth in the gorse and Peru balsam; a subtle grounding that keeps the sweetness tethered.The dry-down is almost chocolaty, threaded with a pulse of tuberose. It never becomes heady; instead, it slowly evolves, as the sweet myrrh emerges and gently draws all the elements inward.
