French Gallantry

Basil and tomato leaf snap open with black tea's dry embrace, immediately green and herbaceous—French Gallantry unfolds as something unexpectedly savory, almost culinary. The heart settles into a thicket of laurels and thyme, oregano threading through sage, deepening that aromatic kitchen-garden quality into something more austere and contemplative. As the herbs soften, heliotrope surfaces with a warm, almond-tinged sweetness, grounded by leather's supple texture and animal warmth. Amberwood anchors the drydown, smoky and woody, while leather and that dusky animal richness linger, transforming the green opening into something shadowed and intimate.
