Violet leaf steps in next, releasing a crushed-grass bitterness that pulls the citrus into green territory, while sage adds a camphoraceous edge that keeps the heart angular and dry. Jasmine barely blooms; instead it flickers like a white light behind the leaves, lending lift without sweetness. Cedar arrives early, its splintery wood drawing the green accord downward into patchouli’s cool earth, the moss stitching both together with a damp forest floor texture that lingers for hours. Sillage stays arm-length but persistent, projecting a crisp, leafy chill ideal for humid spring mornings or post-gym cooldowns.
