Under My Skin
Lavender arrives first, but not in pastel watercolors—this is a darkened, almost bruised version threaded through black pepper and grounded by leather that announces itself early.

The grapefruit lifts the opening just enough to keep it from turning entirely nocturnal. Bulgarian rose emerges in the heart, but it's pressed against skin rather than displayed in a vase, lending warmth without sweetness.
The base settles into a resinous, animalic pull: tonka and vanilla provide cushioning, but castoreum and oakmoss keep things from sliding into dessert territory. Sandalwood and ambergris add heft without heaviness. This is a scent that wears close, revealing itself in stages—at once intimate and unapologetically sensual.
Best suited to those comfortable with vintage-style compositions that blur masculine and feminine boundaries. It occupies the space between polished and feral, formal and undone.
