Alford & Hoff No 2

Black basil opens Alford & Hoff No 2 with a sharp, almost peppery green—Calabrian bergamot and citrus cutting bright alongside it. Nutmeg and pink pepper arrive next, warm and spiced, grounded by cardamom's subtle earthiness. The heart softens into sea salt and moss, where oak and cedar emerge from beneath, anchored by patchouli's dark root. Water fruit lingers as a thread of cooling sweetness throughout, keeping the whole composition from settling too heavily into wood.
