Vetiver & Iris

Nutmeg opens warm and slightly sharp, a spice-dust quality that settles quickly into black pepper's bite—neither heat nor burn, but a measured, almost grainy pungency. Beneath, vetiver's root-earth unfolds with iris's powdery, slightly metallic cool, anchored by olive's soft, almost buttery green. The two base notes create an unusual tension: dusty iris against earthy vetiver, softened by that olive roundness, until the spice fades entirely and only cool, mineral-touched green remains on skin.
