ÄPPLE

ÄPPLE opens on rose geranium: floral, with a herbal edge that stops it tipping sweet. Himalayan cedarwood follows with a clean, dry warmth. Sandalwood deepens the blend, pulling it close to the skin. Clove moves through the heart like an ember, a wisp of spice that makes the whole thing feel lived-in.

Light it when you want the house to feel unhurried: a late afternoon in midsummer, the windows open, nowhere to be.
