Volume 2

Volume 2 opens with a sharp green clarity—basil and bergamot snapping awake before sage deepens the herbaceous air into something cooler, more contemplative. Lavender arrives to soften the edges, patchouli and cedar threading through the middle notes with quiet earthiness. The scent settles into warm amber and musk, sandalwood rising beneath like a wooden floor revealed as smoke clears. There's restraint here, a careful balance between brightness and shadow that never tips toward sweetness.
