Crown

Crown by the French house Ggema, released in 2023 and composed by Shyamala Maisondieu, is a spicy citrus scent with a sweet, musky warmth underneath. Spicy and citrus impressions are shared by everyone who describes it; about half also find it gourmand, woody, musky or amber-like.

It opens with Sicilian bergamot and a sharp hit of black pepper, so the first impression is bright and tingling rather than sweet. Red berries add a juicy, slightly tart fruitiness that softens the pepper. As it settles, vanilla and opoponax bring a resinous, balsamic sweetness, patchouli adds earthy depth, and musk smooths the finish into something warm and close to the skin.

Crown is positioned as a masculine fragrance. The peppery citrus opening makes it easy to wear in the daytime, while the vanilla and resin base give it enough warmth for evenings in autumn and winter. It suits someone who likes a clean start that turns comfortable rather than loud.
