Hortense

Hortense opens with cardamom's warm spice and bergamot's citrus brightness, cut sharp by black pepper. The heart settles into rose softened by cinnamon's dry sweetness and the resinous drift of incense—almost ceremonial. As it deepens, mahogany and cedar ground the composition in woody amber, while vanilla emerges beneath, creating a creamy warmth that lingers against skin with faint spice echoes.
