Amphorae 48

Amphorae 48 opens with a bright, almost juicy collision of Amalfi lemon and Calabrian bergamot, grapefruit cutting through like a cool knife. The heart softens into Bulgarian rose and osmanthus—floral but never powdery, with a green geranium edge that keeps it grounded. As it settles, Siam benzoin and Madagascar vanilla emerge, warm and resinous, anchored by cedar and Singapore patchouli that add a subtle earthiness rather than heaviness. The whole arc feels sun-warmed and textured, like stone and citrus peel worn smooth.
