Athenaeum

Athenaeum opens with crisp lavender and apple sharpened by fennel's anise edge, honeyed warmth and beeswax lending a waxy, almost dusty sweetness. The heart softens into hay-strewn meadow depth touched by hyacinth's green floral whisper and neroli's bright citrus. Leather and oak settle beneath, anchored by ink's metallic, paper-dry quality and patchouli's earthiness, while gurjan balsam adds a resinous, slightly smoky finish that lingers like old library air.
