檀香與橡木 • 木之香氛

Sage and pink pepper hit first, then that guaiacwood smoke settles in for hours. I wore it to a dinner and could still catch the sandalwood on my scarf the next morning.

The sage and pink pepper keep this from turning into a sweet vanilla bomb, which is exactly what I wanted. Sandalwood stays front and center for hours, and the guaiacwood gives it this smoky dryness that feels almost like incense. Wore it to dinner and caught it on my scarf the next morning.

The burnt sugar note scared me at first but it just softens the sandalwood into something warm instead of sharp. Two sprays on my wrist lasted a full workday, and the sage keeps it from ever going sweet. Genuinely the most grounded woody scent I've tried.
