Hothouse Flower

Cypress and green tea open sharp and verdant, bergamot cutting through with citrus clarity before galbanum's green, almost soapy mineral edge takes hold. Olibanum drifts in—resinous, temple-like—as gardenia blooms heavy and creamy at the heart, softened by the papery sweetness of fig. The drydown settles into a skin-warm drift of musk and guaiac wood, the latter's dry, slightly smoky amber anchoring a whisper of corn silk's soft, almost powdery sweetness against warmth.
