What does Enlightenment smell like?

Black spruce needle and larch needle form the backbone, while Sichuan pepper and white sage add a spicy, herbal edge. Rock samphire brings an aquatic freshness, and elemi resin and styrax give it a resinous, earthy depth. Bay rum and orris butter soften everything with sweet, creamy touches.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, though few people have rated it, so treat that as tentative. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine; the woody-green build suits both. Fragrantarium Mediterranean Pine Forest and Chloé Nomade Lumière d'Égypte have a close profile.
