Crude

Crude opens with sage's herbal bite—green, slightly peppery—before orange blossom softens the edge into creamy, almost powdery warmth. Vetiver roots the composition, anchoring those bright florals with earthy restraint. The progression feels deliberate, never rushed: sage giving way to something more intimate, then grounding into leather-tinged soil. There's an austere elegance here, a refusal to sweeten.
