Stance

Stance opens with a sharp bite of nutmeg and black pepper, lifted by tart mandarin and green apple, cardamom warming the edges. The spice settles into a woody heart where vetiver and patchouli ground the sweetness of cashmere wood, cedar lending a dry structure. Amber and musk emerge in the base, softened by papyrus and moss—earthy, skin-warm—while vanilla threads through the drydown, rounding what began as bright and peppery into something dense and mineral.
