About

Autoportrait opens with a zesty sparkle of bergamot and the unique, slightly peppery warmth of elemi. This quickly deepens into a comforting heart of smoky incense and sweet benzoin, softened by a clean musk. The dry-down is an earthy, grounding blend of vetiver, cedar, and oakmoss, leaving a sophisticated, woody trail that's both modern and timeless. Expect a smooth, resinous journey with a comforting, almost dry-green character.
