Bois Dormant

Sleeping wood awakens crisp and green—galbanum and bergamot cut through aldehydic shimmer, costus lending a shadowed, almost smoky earthiness beneath. Carnation emerges warm and peppery, softened by artemisia's herbal whisper and rose's velvet drift, while geranium lends a faint leafy green spine. The base unfolds into a dense, animalic warmth: oakmoss and vetiver root the composition in soil and lichen, civet adding a lived-in musk that wraps around amber's golden resin and vanilla's creamy undertone, until sandalwood settles into a dry, woody husk tinged with resins that cling to skin like old leather.
