Illicit

Bergamot ignites first—bright, almost citrus-sharp—before nutmeg's warmth arrives with a whisper of green ivy threading through. Ginger adds a subtle bite that keeps the heart pulsing rather than settling. Illicit gradually deepens into tea's subtle astringency and sandalwood's creamy base, grounding the spice with a woody, almost powdery finish. The whole arc feels taut and restless, never fully calm.
