Business Over Pleasure

Business Over Pleasure opens with a sharp, almost peppery bite—Sichuan pepper and bergamot crackle against bright coriander. As it settles, lily-of-the-valley softens into lemon verbena while ginger adds a subtle warmth beneath Tuscan iris and cashmere wood's creamy whisper. The base pulls inward: amber and tonka bean deepen into patchouli and guaiac wood's resinous grip, grounded by palo santo's smoky cedar and musk's skin-like closeness. There's a tension here—disciplined brightness giving way to something more sensual, almost contradictory.
