Firewater

Firewater arrives with a sharp, almost medicinal bite—juniper and ginger kindle first, nettle adding a green, almost electric snap alongside tart grapefruit and the tannic grip of black tea. As it settles, larch wood and osmanthus soften the edges with a gentle, slightly floral warmth. The base unfolds slowly, earthy peat and birch smoke grounding everything while seaweed and vetiver introduce a briny, mineral undertow. Guaiac wood adds a smoky richness, and labdanum and benzoin emerge to wrap the whole thing in a resinous, almost creamy amber glow—smoky, coastal, and deeply rooted.
