    Real talk

    Gorse is not a mainstream note. That yellow bloom you see on motorway verges, it translates here to something coconut-honey and hay-like, floral but not sweet in the usual way.Gorseland
    Ostalgie earns its darkness. Birch tar, castoreum, civet, these aren't footnotes here, they're load-bearing walls. Red wine keeps it from becoming brutal, and the oud keeps it from becoming nostalgic.Ostalgie
