Paradiso

Paradiso opens with tart grapefruit and rhubarb's green-pink bite, then tangerine rounds the sharp edges into something almost jammy. The heart quickens with juniper's piney coolness and a whisper of black pepper that lifts rather than burns. As it settles, vetiver's dry earthiness anchors everything while patchouli adds a soft, loamy depth, with ambergris lending a faint animalic warmth that keeps the whole thing from feeling too crisp. There's a strange brightness here—citrus meeting soil, spice meeting stone.
