Emporium Step 8

Ginger and citrus ignite with sharp, almost peppery warmth, then soften into iris's powdery, almost creamy iris root. The heart settles into a bed of green, herbaceous notes that feel fresh and slightly mineral—like crushed green stems—while cedar threads through, lending dry woodiness and structure. By the drydown, Emporium Step 8 releases into soft cedarwood and a whisper of green vetiver, the initial heat completely absorbed into warm timber.
