By the editors · 2 min readDespite the name, there's no fir in the pyramid — instead the opening is a tart fruit-citrus chord of apple, lemon, and grapefruit. It reads crisp and slightly puckering, the grapefruit dominant and bittersweet.
The heart takes an unexpected swerve into spice rack territory: ginger, cinnamon, and clove together, warm and pungent. The contrast against the cool fruity opening is sharp — almost like mulled cider rather than a forest scent.
Vetiver carries the entire base alone, dry and earthy, pulling the spices toward something more grounded and faintly smoky. Overall character is closer to a spiced-cider aromatic than the green coniferous wood the name suggests, projecting quietly and wearing best in cooler weather.
