Manhattan

Manhattan opens with bright lavender and bergamot cut by herbal basil—a crisp, almost architectural top that recalls morning light on steel and glass. Violet and heliotrope bloom into a creamy, almost powdery heart, softened by jasmine and rose, while coconut adds a whisper of warmth beneath the florals. The base unfolds slowly: oakmoss and vetiver ground the composition, while cinnamon, pink pepper, and clove kindle a spiced heat. Tobacco leaf and cedar emerge, smoky and woody, anchored by vanilla and benzoin's soft amber glow. Patchouli and musk deepen the dry-down, leaving a trail of cedar smoke and warm spice settling against skin.
