Junoon Velvet

The sharp sting of tomato leaf and galbanum cuts through the air first, quickly cooling into the herbal grip of clary sage. It has an intellectual edge, moving from the initial green bite into a soft, powdery heart of orris root. As it settles, the dry woodiness of sandalwood anchors a darker, heavy base of leather, myrrh, and tolu balsam. A final touch of vanilla absolute rounds the edges, keeping it from feeling too austere. It sits close to the skin with a steady, quiet persistence that lasts through the longest office shifts.
