Misae

Sharp citrus—lemongrass and bitter orange—pierce through green galbanum and grapefruit, all brightness and bite. Misae settles into a warmer, softer middle where ylang-ylang softens geranium's spice into something almost floral. The base dries down to woody earth anchored by elemi's balsamic warmth, leaving the initial citrus intensity to fade into skin-close resin and wood smoke.
