Cozy Cottage Kitchen

Lavender, kitchen herbs (rosemary?), floraled honey and beeswax. Woody notes begin to emerge, like damp paper. Perhaps a bit of hay, something that gives this a rustic touch. I love that the lavender doesn't read as too masculine or like laundry detergent. The honey is soft and sweet, not animalic at all. I don't smell any patchouli but I'm pretty insensitive to it so that tracks. The leather note also doesn't really stand out to me; it's there if I'm searching for it, but it's not prominent enough for me to make me think of libraries and old books. I love Athenaeum regardless!

Unisex and fairly wearable. Not cloying, but pretty good performance. I like this for rainy Spring weather, but it would work for any season I think. Jorum Studio never misses!

The image it conjures: Standing by the kitchen window in a cute little cottage in a hamlet with a river and a lumber mill (yes I am imagining Riverwood from Skyrim).
