Violet leaf brings a crushed green edge to the air, while narcissus adds a deep, honeyed floral weight that feels rooted in the soil. The scent sits close, moving only as the skin warms, never reaching outward to announce itself in the room. It is a quiet presence that requires leaning in to fully grasp the mix of herbal freshness and powdery sweetness.

Each breath reveals how the hay texture grounds the brighter yellow petals, preventing the floral elements from floating away into something purely decorative. The ozonic accord keeps the atmosphere damp and fresh, like air after a morning rain, while the spicy facet adds a gentle prickliness to the smooth petals.
