The Story
Slate is a crisp, modern fougère that captures the clean scent of rain on stone. It opens with a sharp burst of grapefruit and juniper, then settles into a heart of lavender and sage. The base is a smooth blend of cedar, vetiver, and musk. It's a no-nonsense fragrance that works for the office or a night out.
