Color Essences Orange

Bergamot and grapefruit burst bright and tart, immediately lifted by a sharp citrus brightness. Wormwood enters next, threading a green, slightly herbal bitterness through the warmth, while lavender softens the edges and cardamom brings quiet spice. Pepper crackles briefly before the base settles: amber glows amber-warm, vetiver roots it in earthy green, cedar adds dry structure, and incense smoke drifts above it all. The drydown holds vetiver and cedar, their woody resin cooling as amber fades to skin warmth.
