Prominent notes: Ambrette Seed, Bergamot, Cold Pressed Lemon, Eucalyptus, Ginger, Japanese Cedarwood, Labdanum Absolute, Lavender Absolute, Mysore Sandalwood, Oakmoss Absolute, Orris Butter, Patchouli Heart, Tonka Bean Absolute, Vanilla Absolute, Vetiver, White Ambergris
Description (from the nose): “Thus, once again asking ourselves what the Pillar and Ground of the Truth is, we mentally run through the series of answers given here. The Pillar of the Truth is the Church; it is certitude; it is the spiritual law of identity; it is ascesis; it is the Trihypostatic Unity; it is the Light of Tabor; it is the Holy Spirit; it is chastity or spiritual integrity; it is Sophia; it is the Most Pure Virgin; it is friendship; it is, once more, the Church.
-Pavel Florensky, The Pillar and Ground of the Truth”
Description (my take): After a long day, this lands perfectly. It opens bright and clean with bergamot and lemon, with eucalyptus and ginger adding a crisp, airy edge. As it settles, lavender, orris, and ambrette smooth things out, while cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, and oakmoss give it a calm, grounded feel. A light touch of tonka, vanilla, and ambergris keeps it warm without getting heavy.
It’s clean, nostalgic, and quietly comforting. It reminds me of opening a fresh pack of Pokémon cards back in the early 2000s. That fresh-pack smell, slightly inky and familiar, brings out that same simple, easy feeling.
