A NOTE FROM THE PERFUMER

Of everything we make, this is the one we would put in a bathroom. That is not an insult: a small room with hard surfaces and moving air is genuinely the best environment for a citrus opening - you are close enough to catch the bergamot before it goes, and the humidity carries it. The nutmeg matters more at this size than it does in the Grande Bougie; without it the opening would feel abrupt in a small volume. What surprises people is how long the leather and vetiver stay in the room afterwards. A 240g candle burned for an hour leaves a base behind it that has nothing to do with freshness at all.
