    Two notes. Hyacinth and tea. Sounds simple until the hyacinth kicks in, green, almost aldehydic, a little confrontational. That's the test. If it makes you lean in instead of pull back.Apsara
    The galbanum opening is sharp, bright, almost bitter before the florals arrive to soften it. This is a green chypre for someone who doesn't need everyone to like it.Silences
