It opens like a dare — black and pink pepper cracking against the skin, sharp and alive, the kind of entrance that silences a room. There's nothing soft about this beginning. It's friction. It's intention.


Then the rose arrives — not delicate, not apologetic. Here it blooms dark and full, tangled in warmth, stripped of sweetness and left with only its most primal self. Spice and petal in a tension that doesn't resolve, only deepens.


The drydown is where it claims you. Balsam fir and Atlas cedar build a forest that burns slow, labdanum sealing everything beneath it like wax on a letter you were never meant to open. Resinous, sovereign, impossible to ignore. — Bois Impérial Extrait, for those who leave a mark.
