About

January 5 opens with a bright, uplifting burst of lemon and bergamot, immediately softened by the green, aromatic touch of clary sage. This vibrant introduction quickly blossoms into a beautiful heart of delicate white florals, where rose, jasmine, and lily of the valley intertwine to create a clean, elegant bouquet. The base provides a soft landing with warm amber and earthy patchouli, underpinned by a smooth cedar, giving it depth and lasting appeal without ever feeling heavy.
