201 Gold September

The vetiver keeps this from being just another fruity scent—it grounds the sweetness like damp earth after a golden afternoon. I catch the orchard air every time I move, and it lasts through my whole workday without turning cloying.

The nashi pear note is so vivid it’s like biting into one in late September, and the vetiver keeps it from turning too sweet. I sprayed it this morning and the golden, woody warmth is still clinging to my scarf hours later.

The vetiver gives it a woody backbone that keeps the fruit from turning too sweet, which is exactly what I wanted. It lasts most of my workday and the pear note makes me think of a sunlit orchard. This is my new go-to for fall.
