The story behind the bottle.
Carbon by Aaron Terence Hughes is a composition that balances bright citrus freshness with rich, enveloping musk and amber. The opening notes of bergamot create an immediate sense of crisp clarity, while the heart brings in white flowers and ylang-ylang for a delicate floral warmth. The base notes of musk, skin, and ethical ambergris anchor the fragrance with a deep, sensual earthiness that lasts throughout the day.
Apply two sprays to the pulse points; the bergamot top note is bright but fleeting. The musky and amber base notes will gradually take over, providing a lasting warmth that feels close to skin.
