Orange and pink pepper ignite first, sharp and almost prickling, cut through with absinthe's herbal bite and a jolt of peppermint that sharpens the citrus. Bergamot and lemon brighten the edges as lavender emerges, calming the spice into a more balanced warmth. Bulgarian rose and jasmine soften what follows, grounded by clove's dry heat and the earthiness of orris root. The base settles into vetiver's cool, almost smoky green quality, tonka bean lending a creamy sweetness that never tips into sugar, while cedar and white musk anchor everything to skin—dry, resinous, and faintly warm.
