The collection

Orris root over wet stone. The house signature.

Rose absolute struck against warm metal.

Green fig, sun-hot limestone, milky sap.

Saddle leather thickened with buckwheat honey.

Caramel taken one second past the point of safety.

Cold pear flesh dissolving into pale amber.

The air just before the storm reaches shore.

Orange blossom lifted on warm acacia honey.

Crushed spearmint with the sugar taken out.

Line-dried cotton, cold air, clean skin.

Gin botanicals over cold rolled metal.

Provençal lavender softened into warm milk.

Cedar logs an hour after the fire went out.

Cereal warmth under cold powdered iris.

Dry mineral heat with a thread of smoke.

Soft woods and musk, worn close to the skin.

The discovery vial. Clean, sheer, almost nothing.
