Botanical Essence No. 9

Cassis and bergamot burst open with a sharp, almost peppery warmth from ginger, then Botanical Essence No. 9 settles into a rose-centered heart tempered by earthy patchouli and the honeyed floral whisper of osmanthum. Oakmoss emerges in the base, mossy and cool, anchoring vanilla's soft sweetness and haitian vetiver's root-like, slightly smoky grip. The drydown becomes wholly green and grounded—moss and vetiver holding vanilla at arm's length.
