About

Ancestral opens with a fresh, slightly bitter aromatic punch of sage and artemisia, softened by a sweet hint of pear. The heart introduces a balmy, slightly medicinal lavender-rose embrace, giving it a refined, green depth. It dries down to a comforting, subtly sweet base of guaiac wood, musk, and tonka, wrapping you in sophisticated warmth with a clean, lasting musk trail.
