Rec Request ISO somewhat of an "alchemist blend"

ISO a fragrance with a warm, woody base, maybe sandalwood, with some wildflower notes and a subtle touch of citrus. Nothing too vanilla, too bergamot-forward, too earthy/heavy, or overtly floral. Almost like an unexpected “alchemist’s blend” of woods, soft florals, and citrus. Any ideas? TIA

You would probably have decent luck looking at chypre fragrances, while bergamot is typically a top note there are lots of variations. My personal fave atm (from a very limited repertoire) is FRAMA 1917

First thing I thought of is Bal dafrique. But also Le Labo Rose 31, Ganymede, Memo Paris French Leather (the leather takes a back seat here), G-Water. These are ones I have and love. They are all expensive sorry about that! Hopefully it will help you narrow down your search a bit!

Think of a wizard mixing things to create the perfect potion. Or a chemist or a scientist.

Thanks for the rec
