Lemon Sorbet
Four citruses fire at once — petitgrain, orange, lemon, bergamot — and they hit the way the name promises, cold and sharp, with the petitgrain pulling a slightly bitter green edge underneath.

By the editors · 2 min readFour citruses fire at once — petitgrain, orange, lemon, bergamot — and they hit the way the name promises, cold and sharp, with the petitgrain pulling a slightly bitter green edge underneath. The first ten minutes are a sorbet course: bracing, simple, almost photographic in its clarity.
Lavender and rosemary take over for the heart, the herbs giving it a sun-warmed Mediterranean feel rather than soap. The drydown is sandalwood and vetiver, both quiet enough that the citrus ghost stays in the air longer than expected. It's a cologne in the old sense — refreshing, evaporating, structurally simple. Hot-weather wear, mornings, the right thing in linen.
