By the editors · 2 min readThe opening arrives like stepping into a café at dawn—orange blossom floats above earthy patchouli, sweet but grounded, floral but not precious. There's an immediate warmth that suggests comfort rather than seduction.
As it settles, the coffee emerges not as espresso sharpness but as a soft, creamy presence wrapped in lavender and tonka bean. The effect is more milk foam than dark roast, with the aromatic herbs tempering any gourmand excess. This is coffee as memory rather than literal recreation.
The base brings vetiver and cedar into conversation with vanilla, creating a woody-sweet finish that lingers close to skin. It feels personal and undemanding, suited to those who want fragrance as ambient mood rather than statement. A scent for quiet mornings and solitary rituals, worn by people who prefer their pleasures understated.
