艾草

The scent is more layered than I expected for a standard-size bottle, opening green and drying down to something warm. Two sprays on my wrist lasted a full workday without fading. It's the first fragrance in years I've actually finished a bottle of.

I've been wearing this for a week and the dry-down is what sold me — it settles into something warm and slightly bitter that lasts a good six hours on my skin. Doesn't shout, just sits close and keeps unfolding.

The opening is greener than I expected, almost like crushed stems, before it settles into something warmer. It's clearly a composed, artistic fragrance rather than a crowd-pleaser, and I keep catching whiffs of it on my sleeve hours later.
