Graine de coriandre

The coriander seed note here is warm and almost nutty, not the sharp green cilantro scent I was bracing for. It wears close to the skin for a few hours, then softens into something spicy and quiet. Easily my favorite discovery this year.

I've been wearing this on rainy days and the coriander stays warm and dry rather than sharp, which I didn't expect from a seed note. It wears close for the first hour, then opens into something softer. Easily the most interesting thing in my rotation right now.

I was worried the coriander would smell like the spice jar in my kitchen, but it's much softer and warmer on skin. It dries down to something almost creamy after about an hour, and I keep catching whiffs of it on my scarf.
