the ones that hold the dark

Warm and spicy and a little too knowing. The kind of scent that settles in without asking permission, and you notice it an hour later on your wrist and think - when did that happen.

It just stays.

Something about oud done this way felt less heavy than I expected. Musk and patchouli underneath, but it doesn't announce itself the way those things usually do. It's quieter than the name suggests.

Still thinking about this one.

I don't usually gravitate toward aquatic anything. This one surprised me. Lemon and orange on top, then something that doesn't resolve cleanly, which is either nothing or everything depending on what you're wearing it to.

Light. Genuinely light.

The lilac variant. I wasn't expecting it to read this woody, this grounded. Something between a greenhouse and a library, if that makes any sense.

I've worn it three times this week.
