Paestum Rose

Artemisia and pink pepper snap open with green, peppery brightness—a sharp green leaf crushed between fingers. Black pepper and coriander arrive warm and slightly spiced, grounding the initial burst before Turkish rose unfolds, full and honeyed. Osmanthum softens it into something almost apricot-sweet, while incense drifts through like temple smoke. The drydown settles into myrrh and opoponax, amber-resinous and slightly bitter, finally tapering to papyrus and dry woody notes that linger close to skin with a faint anise-like warmth.
