Melancholia

Violet leaf and green apple crack open with bright bergamot, then black currant deepens the opening into something tart and alive. Melancholia unfolds as narcissus and lily-of-the-valley emerge, their white florals softened by dates—a honeyed, almost candied warmth threading through. Vetiver roots the base, joined by clearwood's pale smoothness and juniper's mineral bite, while incense adds a thin, ashy gravity. The dates linger longest, their sweetness slowly overtaken by dry vetiver and the faint mineral smoke of juniper and incense fading on skin.
