Hot Water Night

Black pepper ignites first, sharp and alive, threaded with the piney bite of juniper berries—a bracing opening that feels like stepping into cool night air. Rose emerges next, dusted and slightly austere against cedar's dry wood grain. As heat settles, amber pools beneath, honeyed and skin-warm, while agarwood deepens the base into something resinous and faintly smoky, grounding the rose's last whispers until only amber and dark, animalic oud remain on skin.
