About

Imagine peeling a juicy bergamot and rubbing the zest between your fingers, that's your opening here - bright and zesty. This quickly softens into a vibrant, green heart of peppery basil and earthy thyme, adding an aromatic lift. The drydown settles into a clean, smooth musk with a subtle whisper of vetiver and patchouli, keeping things grounded but never heavy.
