About

Paradox Vetivier opens with a zesty explosion of grapefruit, lemon, and bergamot, creating an immediate, uplifting freshness. This bright citrus then melds seamlessly into the aromatic heart, where peppery geranium adds a crisp, slightly spicy edge. The base settles into a rich, earthy blend of vetiver and patchouli, softened by warm frankincense and a subtle amber sweetness, creating a clean yet deep finish.
