charming cuppa
Opens with fresh-sliced lemon, then fragrant jasmine, and finally a saltwater breeze. A sharp tea note forms the heart. And something else, almost a church-y incense. The Point has an aged, heirloom quality to it. Like it’s been unearthed from a satin-lined hatbox, that tea note given decades to steep. I like even more once it's matured on my skin, where it sepia-tones into an iced tea balm. I find it a bit brusque for the first five minutes. I didn’t “get” The Point at first, but on the third or so try it “clicked” and suddenly I couldn’t get enough.
Mental Snapshot: You’re the mayor of a bougie seaside town. A village, you probably call it. You probably don’t use the word bougie, either. Nantucket in looks, Carmel-by-the-Sea in spirit. There’s no crime here, only curious little mysteries. A missing teapot, a lost cocker spaniel. But you always solve them. Your beach house, The Point, probably smells exactly like this.
tl;dr: Agatha Christie’s auction
