Opens with a sharp, almost gasoline-edged violet and cedar accord that reads more industrial than floral — distinctive and polarizing right from the first spray. The lavender and nutmeg soften the heart, adding a faintly spiced warmth without going sweet, while honeysuckle provides just enough freshness to keep it from feeling heavy.
