Arise

Arise opens with a bright citrus snap—orange and grapefruit cut through with black pepper's warm bite. Bay leaf and geranium emerge as the sharpness mellows, their green, slightly herbal character grounding the composition before patchouli arrives with earthy depth. Atlas cedar and vetiver anchor the base, their woody resin slowly warming into benzoin's subtle sweetness, creating a finish that feels grounded and quietly alive.
