By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain snaps open with bitter-green electricity, its lemon-rind edge sharpened by galbanum's resinous bite. The heart folds in iris butter that powders the ginger's radiant heat, while violet adds a cool, wet-stone nuance that keeps the wood base airy. Sandalwood arrives dry and pale, its creamy facets filtered through lingering iris dust so the finish feels like warm skin rather than lumber. Wear time stretches six hours, projecting an arm's-length green haze perfect for spring offices or cool summer mornings.
