About

Second Skin opens with a fresh and slightly spicy pop of bergamot, softened immediately by delicate rose and jasmine. As it settles, a warm, slightly animalic amber emerges, spiced with a hint of pepper, nutmeg, and cumin, giving it a sophisticated depth. The dry down is a comforting embrace of musky vetiver and earthy oakmoss, creating a refined, skin-like aroma that feels both intimate and lasting.
