The first spray brings a sharp blast of tart bergamot and dry herbal thyme that cuts through the morning chill. Within fifteen minutes, the citrus flash fades.

You get a calm, grounding aroma that wears close to the chest. It feels like taking a quiet walk under towering evergreens right after a heavy rain shower.
