Libertine

Libertine opens with bright pomelo and lemon zest hitting skin almost simultaneously, sharp and luminous, before carambola adds a waxy, slightly green sweetness. The heart blooms into hibiscus's tart floral bite, grounded by mandarin leaf's peppery greenness and ginger's warm spice—a moment of tension between sweetness and heat. Vetiver and Virginia cedar anchor the base with dry, woody earthiness, while ambergris softens the finish into something faintly animalic and skin-close, transforming the initial citrus spark into something sultry and grounded.
