About

Anchor Black delivers an immersive dive into a damp, dark forest. It opens with an intriguing spicy kick, quickly settling into a deep, earthy vetiver heart that evokes crushed leaves and rich soil. The base is an enveloping blanket of soft cashmere wood and musky warmth, rounding out the initially sharp greenness into something smooth and contemplative. It's woody, musky, and decidedly grounding.
