Wear Aromatic on skin first; cloth and heat rewrite the pyramid.
One spray at the sternum, then wait — sillage is not a contest.
Seasons
- Spring — Green herbs and fine lavender.
- Summer — Cologne-aromatics; reapply.

Tips
- Smell fine and lavandin apart — Camphor tells the truth.
- Oxidation — Old lavender oil goes harsh; date the bottle.
- Soap test — If it equals the shower, recut.
- Don’t mix with heavy oud — Herb gets crushed or goes medicinal.
- Aftershave alcohol is normal — The sting is the history.
- Coumarin on a strip — Learn hay before calling it vanilla.
Pairings
- Clean shave — Designed pairing.
- Black tea — Clary and bergamot.
- Honey on toast — Caron vanilla-lavender.
- Linen sheets — The household aromatic.
If Aromatic dies at hour three, the heart was never built.
