By the editors · 2 min readTarragon opens with a cool, anisic snap that lifts the lemon’s tart sparkle into something almost gin-like. Lavender rushes in, swapping brightness for a clean, sun-bleached herbaceous core while cardamom and nutmeg dust the blend with a dry, softly peppered warmth that keeps the heart airy rather than sweet. Vetiver and patchouli anchor the dry-down, the first adding a cool, rooty smoke, the second a muted earthy hum that stretches the herbal accord into late afternoon. Musk shepherds the transition, turning the green-woody bones into a skin-close, salt-flecked veil that recalls crushed stems on warm stone. Projection stays polite, a two-foot radius for four hours, then settles as a private whisper. Spring through early fall, dockside lunches or unbuttoned office Fridays.
