About

This one kicks off with a fresh, slightly tart burst of grapefruit and green apple, softened by a touch of lavender. It quickly shifts into a warm, spicy heart with clove and geranium, giving it an unexpected edge. The dry down is all about earthy vetiver and pine, grounding the initial zest with a pleasant woody depth. It's a journey from fruity fresh to spicy wood, definitely keeping you on your toes.
