Confessions of a Garden Gnome
Yuzu and pink pepper open the composition with a bright, slightly fizzy citrus-spice combination — yuzu giving a clean Japanese citrus lift, pink pepper a brief peppery sparkle that fades quickly.

The heart turns floral with violet leaf threading a green metallic cool, lily and lily of the valley keeping things airy and dewy, and rose adding a quiet roundness without dominating. The middle reads transparent and slightly outdoors-feeling.
White musk, birch, ambergris, amber, and Virginia cedar close it with a soft warm woody-musk finish. Birch adds a faint smoky-leathery edge that complicates the otherwise clean dry-down. Overall: a modern green-floral with a quiet woody-amber base, moderate projection, and a versatile spring-leaning character.
