🌱 The Inspiration: The Roots
Essenza has a beautiful woody dry down. Vetiver Woods Dry isolates this base. It pairs the citrus with a heavy dose of Vetiver and Cedar. It is masculine and dry.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Earth and Sky
Grapefruit provides the light. Vetiver provides the shadow. The heart is Cedarwood and Pepper. It is a study in structure.
