About

Essence of His Guilt kicks off with a potent blast of aromatic lavender, immediately establishing a clean, somewhat barbershop-esque character. As it settles, a sweet, indolic orange blossom emerges, adding a plush, white floral heart that softens the initial sharpness. The dry down is undeniably earthy and deep, with patchouli laying a rich, slightly damp foundation that anchors the floral and herbal notes firmly. It's a scent that develops from fresh to full-bodied over time, with a lingering powdery quality.
