The Story
A Year of the Water Rat is a limited edition Lunar New Year blend from 2008. It opens with a crisp, watery melon and cool cucumber, then softens into a delicate floral heart of lotus and bamboo. The base is a clean, slightly sweet musk with a hint of white sandalwood. It's a fresh, contemplative scent that captures the essence of a quiet, rainy day.
