Armoise (Pelyněk)

The dry-down is where this really shines, staying true to the aromatic herb without turning soapy or sharp. I’ve reached for it almost every day since it arrived, and the longevity is impressive for something this delicate.

The bottle’s design feels as refined as the scent itself, and it lasts a good few hours without turning sharp. I’ve worn it to work and got a compliment from a coworker who thought it was some fancy herbal blend. Really captures that fresh, aromatic vibe.

The first spray is almost like crushing fresh mugwort leaves, that green, slightly medicinal pop is so vivid. It settles into something softer and more artistic on the skin, and the longevity surprised me given how delicate it feels at first.
