Pax
Pax opens with passionfruit and pear that are ripe without being sugared, a citrus accord underneath giving the fruit top real brightness. The incense heart is the composition's turn: jasmine and magnolia soften the incense without muting it, cardamom adding warmth that bridges the fruit top and the resinous middle. Leather and agarwood in the base arrive with the quiet authority of an extrait concentration, the vanilla giving the drydown a sweetness that is earned rather than assumed. Over-the-top longevity that delivers well past what most compositions promise.
Why We Carry This
Pax was Pazzaglia's first extrait and it still demonstrates what distinguishes the house: maximum concentration behind unexpected compositions. The incense-fruit arc is genuinely unusual, and the leather-oud base gives the fragrance a staying power that justifies the extrait format.
