Verdon

Verdon opens with bright bergamot and lemon that feel clean and almost bracing, then deepens as lavender and mint emerge—the mint cool against skin, the lavender grounding toward something herbal rather than floral. A whisper of sea notes drifts through the middle, briny and subtle, before cedar settles in the base, woody and dry. The whole arc feels like standing near water on a clear morning: sharp light giving way to shade and salt and the scent of dried wood.
