geranium · blackberry · black pepper

Geranium and black pepper open it fresh and spiced, and blackberry and violet soon bring a darker sweetness. Cedar and nutmeg hold the heart, then moss and malt settle into a woody, earthy base. Wear it in the late afternoon, when the air cools and the trail stays close to the skin.
