By the editors · 2 min readOpens with a green-bright Mediterranean snap: basil and lemon together, the basil's anise-pepper lift cutting against lemon's sharp citrus. The opening reads as freshly torn herbs over a wedge of lemon — culinary in temperature.
The heart is where the concept arrives. Seaweed introduces a salty iodine-marine character that pulls the bright opening into wet-rock coastal territory. The pairing of culinary herb and ocean weed is the entire identity.
Drydown lands on oakmoss and patchouli. Oakmoss deepens the damp green-marine register while patchouli adds quiet earthy support. The arc stays cool, salty, and slightly bitter, built as a literal portrait of Corsican coastline with no concession to sweetness.
