The Lion Cupboard

The Lion Cupboard opens with a brisk herbal snap—lavender and juniper bright against anise's licorice whisper and mint's cool bite, grapefruit cutting sharp through. The heart softens into creamy sandalwood and ylang-ylang's honeyed warmth, rose threading through with black pepper's gentle heat and cedar's dry spine. Tobacco and cacao emerge in the base, earthy and faintly sweet, anchored by vetiver's mineral pull and vanilla's amber undertone, until only warm sandalwood and a trace of cacao dust remain on skin.
