Wabi-Sabi

A contemplative scent embracing imperfection. Opens with a subtle blackcurrant sweetness and jasmine's luminous touch, then descends into a serene forest of hinoki and cypress. Smoky incense and elemi calm the mind, while saffron and amber leave a warm, grounding trail. Wear it for quiet introspection, a gentle acceptance of the present moment.
