The first spritz is all damp soil and crushed leaves, but it blooms into something so soft and pretty on my skin that I keep sniffing my own wrist.

The wet-earth opening settles into something almost cozy, like burying your nose in a rose after the rain clears. It's fruity enough to brighten a gray morning but the chypre base keeps it grounded for hours.

The first spray hits like wet stone and crushed leaves, then blooms into something soft and almost honeyed on my skin. It's the rare floral that doesn't turn powdery by lunchtime, and the mossy base keeps it grounded all day. I've worn it three times this week and keep catching my own wrist.
