Épine de Rose

Épine de Rose opens with a sharp ginger bite threaded through dark, resinous oud and bright mandarin—an almost medicinal clarity against the wood's depth. The heart softens into Bulgarian rose, its petals dusted with pink pepper's floral heat and black pepper's grip, creating an androgynous spice that clings close. Cedar and incense settle into the skin, the rose fading to dry wood smoke and the faint ghost of peppercorn lingering in the creases of the wrists.
