Juniper Berry
The Cold Blue
A small dark berry breathing pine and gin into the air.
✶
Juniper Berry is a winter creature — resinous, slightly turpenic, with the cool blue lift of pine needles broken between fingers. She smells of gin, of churchyards, of weather pressing in at a window.
A bright top note, she clears the palate of a fragrance with a single cold breath before yielding to whatever warmth is built underneath.
