✦ First Impression:
Opens with a muted herbal clarity—like a dried healing plant found between pages of a forgotten book.
There’s a soft breath of mineral sweetness, clean and distant, as if rain had once passed over dry stone.
No bright volatility—just a cool, spacious presence that hovers low, calm and observant.
It doesn’t seek your attention. It waits.

✦ Evolving Presence:
The scent remains close to the skin, unfolding in layers of dried root, pale earth, and faint herbal echoes.
Its evolution is steady—not shifting, but deepening.
The sweetness remains subdued, more tone than flavor.
Hints of an ancient apothecary linger, softened by time.
There’s a quiet mineral clarity, as if silence itself left behind a scent.

✦ Emotional & Symbolic Impression:
A scent like an unlit room in a monastery, where presence is a practice, not a performance.
It holds space without intrusion, like a stone that has witnessed but never spoken.
Stillness is its language—clarity without brightness, reflection without mirror.
The root doesn’t carry memory. It is memory.

✦ Symbolism & Residue:
– Stillness carved into scent
– The breath of something no longer living, yet fully present
– A whisper of authenticity that doesn’t ask to be named
– The scent of having been, without needing to become
