✦ First Impression:

Cool and quiet — like a plant that doesn’t seek attention, but is fully present.
A lemon-laced herbal breath rises gently, as if the leaves were warmed just enough to speak.
There’s a softness beneath the citrus: a grounded green, shaded and introspective.
Not vibrant like spring, but weathered — wise in its own still rhythm.
The scent moves more through the air than along the skin. It hovers, listens.

✦ Evolving Presence:

With time, the citrus thread fades into gentle herbaceous tones.
Hints of dry leaf, faint twigs, and a light mineral breeze emerge — like forgotten air in a quiet grove.
The floral part stays hidden, almost shy, beneath shaded foliage.
It feels like the wild remembering itself — soft, spare, and present.

✦ Emotional & Symbolic Impression:

This scent belongs to a place where nothing asks to be noticed.
It embodies the wisdom of quiet ecosystems: grasses, leaves, unseen roots.
There’s no bloom for attention — only presence.
And in that presence, something deep is understood without needing to be said.
