The story

The polishing of the reliquaries.

Mandarin and black pepper open bright and dry. Then a brass accord arrives — cold, metallic and genuinely strange — against powdery peony and iris. Latex adds a rubbery edge before amber woods and oak warm the finish. Unsettling, and deliberately so.

How it wears

Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
