White Whale

Salt crystals and frankincense open with a sharp, almost briny pepper bite, evoking sea spray and resin. Violet softens the intensity mid-wear, sweetened by osmanthus's apricot-like warmth, while orris root adds a powdery, iris-like depth that grounds the ambergris's soft animalic hum. The base emerges gradually—Virginia cedar and Indonesian patchouli leaf build a woody skeleton, labdanum lending a honeyed, slightly leather-touched warmth before Haitian vetiver's grassy, mineral coolness takes hold, fading to dry wood and earth on skin.
