NOTES:
Lemonhead candies | Vanilla Bean | White Pepper

A nice ginger vibe spins out from citrus. Vanilla extract more-so than bean? Maybe. But the bean seems more important. White pepper, finely ground. Dandelion bite and chamomile calm get rolled in buttery suede. Golden hay. Sweet with pale spice warmth. Consistent.
