Skin opens with a gauze-like transparency—soft aldehydes and musk sketch an outline rather than fill it in completely. There's a whisper of citrus that fades almost immediately, leaving behind something quieter: soap rendered abstract, laundry hung in sunlight, the faint salt of a wrist pressed to paper.
As it settles, a mineral quality emerges alongside pale woods and a hint of vanilla so diluted it reads more as warmth than sweetness. The effect is less about smelling *like* skin than occupying the same register—subtle, close, almost subliminal.
This is perfume as understatement, suited to anyone who wants presence without projection. It hovers at the threshold of perception, the olfactory equivalent of linen sheets or unglazed ceramic: clean in the architectural sense, stripped to essentials.
