๐ The Inspiration: Kyoto Moss
Camellias falling on moss in a Japanese temple. Zen Garden Camellia adds an earthy, mossy base. It is a Chypre-Floral. It is grounded and contemplative.
๐งช The Olfactory Architecture: Earth and Flower
Green Tea and Bergamot open the scent. The heart is Camellia. The base is Oakmoss and Vetiver. It is green and damp.
