En Prise

En Prise opens with a sharp, almost peppery brightness—bergamot and ginger sparring before saffron threads in a honeyed warmth. The heart softens into dark berry sweetness, cassis melting against a clean geranium leaf, sugar adding a subtle syrup without heaviness. It settles into dry earth and wood, oakmoss and vetiver anchoring the fade while cedar whispers a faint resinous close. The whole arc feels poised and deliberate, each layer shifting without rushing.
