Brutal

Brutal opens with bright tangerine and lemon—sharp, almost aggressive citrus that catches the breath. The heart softens into creamy jasmine and earthy vetiver with patchouli's dark, soil-like texture threading beneath. Vanilla anchors the base with a warm, almost sweet calmness that tempers the roughness that came before. The whole arc feels contradictory: tender florals wrapped in something raw and untamed, clean citrus descending into shadow.
