Inkwell

Glass inkwell that dried out twenty years ago. The residue at the bottom is what you're smelling.

Notes: Iron ink, cold metal nib, leather, trace violet, dry wood

A precise, masculine-reading accord that performs unusually well in intellectual or literary-concept fragrances. Use at 4–8% as a heart modifier. Combine with oud, tobacco, or vetiver for richness; with bergamot to open and sharpen.
