Fragrance notes
Character
Morning light fills a sunlit courtyard where stone walls still hold the cool of the night. A breeze moves through the space and carries the bright, slightly peppery lift of cardamom that greets the air the moment you step outside. It is a crisp entrance that feels awake and alert, offering a gentle heat that quickly gives way to the true character of the scene. The initial spice does not dominate for long, because the heart of the moment arrives with a wave of lavender that smells clean and upright.

This part of the moment is rich and layered, where the citrus has softened and the spices have merged into a steady, aromatic hum.

Vetiver holds everything close to the earth, its grassy depth mixing with the remaining cedar to form a sturdy base that refuses to let the brightness float away. There is a sense of quiet industry in the air, as if the plants are slowly releasing their final oils into the heat, the lavender still humming alongside the woody, spicy
