Rake & Ruin

Rake & Ruin arrives as a sharp botanical spirit—gin and juniper crackling against pink and Sichuan pepper's numbing heat, lemon and orange cutting through anise-tinged licorice. The heart softens into violet and orris powder, earthy cypress and pine needles anchoring the sweetness of castoreum and labdanum, while smoke threads through like burnt incense. By the base, sandalwood and musk settle into a woody, amber-touched haze, the smoke lingering as a tender, ashy memory of the opening's herbaceous chaos.
