Modern Poet

Citron and gin snap open with alcoholic brightness, grapefruit and lemon cutting sharp angles through resinous olibanum that grounds the top in incense rather than sweetness. Modern Poet settles into cardamom's warm spice and matcha's grassy, almost mineral earth—geranium adding a whisper of green florality. The base unfolds slowly: amber and balsamic notes create a honeyed warmth while vetiver rises with dry, rooted intensity, sandalwood softens the edges, and moss creeps in like damp stone. Patchouli darkens everything to leather-tinged earthiness, until only vetiver's clean rootedness and pale sandalwood linger against skin.
