Incident Diplomatique

Mandarin's bright pierce opens Incident Diplomatique—sharp, almost brittle citrus cutting through the air. Nutmeg arrives next, warming into spice, layered beneath earthy vetiver oils that turn the composition grounded and austere. The base settles into creamy sandalwood and patchouli, dark soil and pale wood smoke merging as the initial brightness fades. What emerges is restrained and deliberate: citrus curbed by spice, then anchored in vetiver's cool mineral depths and the dry, woody embrace of sandalwood.
