The scent story
Imagine sorting freshly cut herbs and leafy branches in a courtyard, a peeled tangerine beside you. Rounded, gently sweet citrus peel drifts into the air and mingles with thyme's distinct, slightly spicy herbal notes, like the scent left on your fingertips after rubbing a leaf. Ho wood brings a soft, subtly floral woodiness that rounds the herbal edges. Cedarwood leaves a warm, gently sweet woody note with a trace of resin.
Herbs and woods weave through the blend, accented by the sweetness of tangerine. It is like gathering herbs and twigs into a small bundle: as you bring it closer, leafy, woody and citrus notes emerge in turn, then slowly settle together into a natural, gentle botanical scent.
