By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and violet open with a cool, leafy snap that immediately frames the vetiver. The heart doubles the grass root: peony’s watery petals keep the vetiver green rather than smoky, while a second vetiver charge in the base pulls the composition earthward. Amber warms the cedar planks, turning the accord from damp lawn to sun-baked wood shavings. On skin the violet lingers longest, powdering the vetiver’s edges and stopping the scent from turning bitter. Projection stays polite, a close aura perfect for office air-conditioning, yet the rooty backbone survives summer heat without collapsing.
