Temperance, the tarot card numbered fourteen, sits between Death and the Devil with a river at her feet and a rainbow overhead. That's the world this one lives inside. It begins co ol and dry, like cucumber gin being poured slowly into a chilled glass. Then the rainbow breaks open — grapefruit and pink pepper, bright and a little brash, lit from within. As it settles, orris root emerges from somewhere underground, powdery and ancient, while vetiver and mossy spring water rise green to meet it. Two conversations happen at once and neither waits for the other. A thread of carrot seed and Ambrox Super runs through it all, holding the opposites together without forcing them to choose. The finish is candied vetiver, soft and sweet and patient, a long iridescent afterglow that doesn't announce when it leaves. Show more
