Confessions of a Garden Gnome

Pink pepper and yuzu snap open with brightness, bergamot and coriander lending a spiced citrus warmth. Lily-of-the-valley emerges tender and green, woven through mango's soft stone-fruit sweetness and rose petals dusted with violet leaf's cool, slightly bitter snap. The heart softens into lily's creamy white florals as the composition settles. Beneath, birch brings a papery, almost smoky dryness while amber and Virginia cedar build a woody bed; white musk and ambergris blur the final hours into skin-warm, resinous amber traced with whispers of pale cedar.
