By the editors · 2 min readLavender lands cool and slightly camphorous, edged by a crackle of pink pepper that lifts the opening without adding heat. The heart folds in iris, its dry, carrot-seed powder softening the herbs while clary sage reinforces the grey-green aromatics, keeping the structure angular rather than plush. Ambroxan slides in early, stretching a clean, mineral musk through the incense resins so the myrrh and frankincense smolder low, never turning churchy. As skin warms, the musk amplifies, turning the accord into a muted, ash-tinted skin scent that still carries a faint lavender shimmer. Projection stays polite, hovering just inside personal space; it reads like crisp linen washed with incense soap. Works best spring through early fall, office safe yet quietly offbeat.
