The Vegan
Fragrance notes
The opening stumbles before it finds its footing. Bergamot and ginger arrive with a sharp, almost scratchy brightness that feels thin rather than uplifting, and the pepper bites a little too hard at first. It lacks the smooth, rounded entry that makes a spice forward start feel inviting. The room is a small woodworking studio filled with sawdust and the smell of fresh timber. Someone has just sanded a piece of ebony and the fine dark dust hangs in the air near the bench. The scent sits right there on the skin, mixing with the atmosphere. The leather in the heart feels dry and tool-like rather than luxe, blending into the cedar and sandalwood that rise from the base. A faint floral whisper moves through the wood, kept in check by the amber that adds a low, warm glow without turning sweet. It smells like hands that have handled raw materials all morning, the ginger and pepper still clinging to the surface while the ebony and cedar create a sturdy, grounded backdrop. The powdery and animalic touches stay far in the background, adding a slight weight to the air as the spices continue to snap against the grain of the wood
