NOTES:
Citron | Cedar | Dandelion

A Spring-heavy blend and no, not 'boing,' (but not not). Bright, airy, and crisply blooming. I can't eat citrus but I do know a citron is a quite thick-rinded lemony sort of thing. Pith. Wood tends to structure and here, the winking not blinking cedar does. A bit of green. Pistachio. I have drunk dandelion tea and do taste that here but also I have stood in a field of dewy grass. A lush blend again quite tilted toward rebirth.

Of citrine's inverse. The now, a budding giggle. A hat on a hat.
