By the editors · 2 min readGinger, pink pepper, and grapefruit hit first — bright and slightly biting, with cardamom and almond adding warmth and a faint nuttiness underneath. The opening feels both fresh and a little edible, a useful contradiction.
Lavender, jasmine, and orange blossom soften the transition into the heart, adding a floralcy that reads as clean rather than overtly feminine. The base brings vetiver's earthy smokiness into conversation with sandalwood's creaminess and vanilla's quiet sweetness. Patchouli keeps it grounded without going dark. The result is a structured fougère-adjacent fragrance — spiced, lightly floral, and gently earthy throughout its dry-down.
