Ahead

Pepper and bergamot snap open with herbaceous lavender, sharp and clarifying—the kind of brightness that clears the head. Geranium petals soften the edges as neroli blooms through, joined by the cooler, slightly medicinal breath of clary sage. The heart settles into something more grounded: iris powder dusts the skin while cedar lends a woody spine, and vanilla creeps in beneath, warm and dry. What lingers is the iris-cedarwood base, barely sweet, more mineral than sugared.
