Graphite

Graphite opens with a sharp burst of Virginia cedar and pepper that feels almost tactile, rounded by violet leaf's green whisper and bergamot's bright bite. The heart settles into warm amber and guaiac wood—resinous, slightly smoky—with geranium adding a dusty floral softness. As it rests, oak moss grounds the composition in earthy, almost mineral cool, while sandalwood and benzoin create a creamy, balsamic halo that lingers between warmth and restraint.
