By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper snaps open with a dry, woody crackle that immediately sets a cool, green tone. Jasmine arrives next, its white petals folding around galbanum's bitter stem and iris powder, creating a crisp floral heart that feels like crushed leaves on wet stone. As the jasmine fades, vetiver's rooty smoke threads through musk's clean skin-warmth, turning the earlier green chill into something softly earthy and close-wearing. The composition stays angular throughout, never sweet, keeping the pepper's initial bite echoing against vetiver's grassy shadows. Projection sits at arm's length for four hours before collapsing to a quiet mossy skin scent. Office-friendly in spring or early fall, it behaves like a crisp white shirt that refuses to wrinkle.
