Nota Bene

Pink pepper crackles against grapefruit's bright acid, while licorice weaves a soft, almost creamy sweetness through the opening. The heart settles into white honey and papyrus—a warm, papery whisper beneath honeyed amber notes—as benzoin adds a subtle vanilla-like softness. The base grounds everything in earthy vetiver and a gentle tobacco smoke, amber glowing underneath like embers cooling into ash, leaving only dry tobacco leaf and vetiver's mineral grip on skin.
