A crisp, metallic edge meeting the dry heat of cooling ginger
It begins with an immediate snap of green apple and aldehydes, a sharp, clean intake of air that cuts through the humidity. Beneath this bright opening, the scent settles into a dry, resinous core of elemi and frankincense, balanced by the herbal bitterness of sage and lavender. Geranium absolute provides a floral tension that feels structured rather than soft. As it lingers, the woody grounding of vetiver and tonka bean takes over, providing a clean, persistent trail that stays sharp on the skin long after the midday heat subsides.
