You’re close enough to the water to feel it on your skin. Salt in the air, cool and clean, the spray coming off grey stone that’s been wet all morning. There’s bergamot somewhere, sharp and bright, cutting through the damp like sun through cloud. Driftwood, pale and smooth, smelling of years in the tide. It’s the breath you take when you step outside and the air is moving, open and wide and a little electric, nothing heavy anywhere in it. The smell of space, of weather, of being somewhere the sky is bigger. It clears your head and it stays with you.
Top: bergamot, grapefruit, sea salt · Heart: sage, marine accord · Base: cedar, vetiver, driftwood musk
For the days you need room to breathe.
