Desperte

Nutmeg and bergamot snap awake on the skin, sharp and slightly peppery before softening into a green-tinged floral heart where lavender and violet leaf sit cool against warm geranium. Artemisia adds an almost herbal whisper—dry, slightly bitter—while the woody base gradually emerges: vetiver roots the composition in earthy depth, cedar drifts in with pencil-shaving clarity, and sandalwood anchors everything in warm, creamy softness as the citrus fades.
