About

Imagine a brisk, earthy morning; a cup of ginger and basil tea steaming, its herbal vapour swirling with the clean, green crunch of ginseng root. This scent captures that moment, grounding it with the chamomile’s calming floral whisper, before settling into a soft, musky, woody embrace of vetiver. It’s an aromatic shot in the arm with surprising depth.
