This is Not Serotonin

This is Not Serotonin opens bright and slightly peppery—geranium and bergamot fizzing softly on the skin—before warming into spiced earth. Nutmeg and cedar deepen the story, anchored by a smoky, root-like cypriol that feels grounded and almost mineral. The dry down settles into a dense, resinous bed of vetiver and oud, softened by moss and the creamy warmth of ambergris. There's a melancholic richness here, vetted and worn smooth, nothing quite euphoric—just real.
