Desire No. 21

Desire No. 21 opens with a sharp green breath—basil and tarragon lifting like steam from a kitchen garden, rosemary grounding the herbal snap. As it settles, a bright apple note arrives, crisp and almost tart, softening the initial verdancy into something warmer and more rounded. The dry-down reveals a creamy musk beneath earthy patchouli, while incense smoke drifts through, lending a subtle spiritual weight. The fragrance never fully leaves its green origins; instead, it deepens them, turning herbal clarity into something more intimate and grounded.
