By the editors · 2 min readPeppermint and lime crash together in an icy-citrus flash that feels almost effervescent against the dry heat of cumin. The heart keeps the chill alive with neroli’s bitter-orange edge while ylang-ylang adds a faint custard softness; galbanum injects a snapped-stem green bite that prevents any creamy drift. As the cool herbs recede, the base unfolds as a smoky, resinous stack: myrrh and olibanum smolder first, then labdanum and patchouli thicken the air, while civet, castoreum and oakmoss lay down a leathery, animalic hum that clings to vetiver’s earthy root. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours before settling into a tarry, moss-laden skin whisper best suited to cool spring evenings or layered fall days.
