By the editors · 2 min readA minimalist meditation on three notes. Salt opens the composition with a dry, mineral lift — the smell of damp stone rather than open ocean — pushing the perception toward something cool and slightly metallic.
Sandalwood in the heart is creamy and quiet, balancing the salt's sharpness with a soft, almost lotioned warmth. Musk holds the base together without adding much character of its own, just a clean envelope around the wood.
The whole arc is brief and linear, intended as a wearable atmosphere rather than a statement. A skin scent for warm, humid days when more would feel like too much. Pretty in the way unfinished things can be pretty.
