I looooove this one. It had to grow on me, but it 100% has now 😆 It's fresh, a lil spicy and decidedly woody, with a creaminess from the cedar that takes this one up a notch.

The lime & agave are carried by currents of salty sea air and "outdoorsy freshness" (a descriptor on the website that I agree with wholeheartedly), all shrouded in guaiacwood that gives the agave its mezcal-smokiness and softened by the cozy creaminess of cedarwood.

Slightly sweet (thanks agave), refreshingly translucent (thanks creamy cedar and tart lime) and smokily bright (thanks guaiac and sea salt)❤️if you avoided this bc you don't want to smell like a distilled spirit, I don't think you have to worry—it doesn't remind me of liquor whatsoever (and I've drank mezcal more than a few times).

The sweet, salty freshness counterbalances the smoky, creamy translucence in this chiaroscuro of a fragrance; it's olfactory art!
