Etude 1.4: Le Goût

Etude 1.4: Le Goût opens with sharp, resinous mastic and eucalyptus, lime's brightness cutting through a spiced rum warmth. The heart settles into honeyed salt and black fig, cinnamon and paprika leaf adding a gentle peppery bite, saffron threading through with subtle earthiness. Tonka bean and beeswax emerge in the base, grounding the composition in creamy vanilla and dark chocolate, while vetiver and patchouli lend a woody, slightly smoky finish that lingers long after the initial sweetness fades.
