Aromatics Elixir

Bright aldehydes snap awake with lemon verbena and bergamot, geranium and coriander threading through—herbaceous, almost green. Clary sage and chamomile soften the opening's sharp edges into something herbal and calm. The heart unfolds with tuberose's creamy weight, carnation's spicy sweetness, and jasmine deepening the floral core, while orange blossom and ylang-ylang add a waxy, honeyed warmth. Rose and orris root ground the florals in powder and earth. By the drydown, oakmoss and vetiver emerge as anchors, patchouli and incense adding dry smoke and mineral depth, until sandalwood and musk settle into a soft, woody amber on skin.
