A gender blend of orris root, cucumber gin, and a rainbow that shifts as it dries. Temper is the art of holding opposites without choosing, vetivery and sweet, grounded and lit. Long-lasting. Morphs significantly. Worth the patience. Eau de parfum. 30 mL / 1 fl oz.

It's a virtue. Delicate balance and careful moderation.

Blending two things that are neither and both and somehow better.

In Tarot, Temperance (XIV) sits between Death (XIII) and the Devil (XV) or underworld, which is a difficult neighborhood. River at their feet, rainbow overhead, and on the card itself...

an iris.

A nod to Iris, goddess of the rainbow, the psychopomp, the one who travels between our world and the next.

(also, iridescence)

(this is where we get "rainbow bridge")

First, Cucumber gin. Cool, dry, something being poured with care. Then the rainbow breaks open. Grapefruit and pink pepper, bright and a little audacious. The fragrance at its most lit.

It descends. Orris root, powdery, ancient, underground by nature. Vetiver and soft spring water come up to meet it, green and mossy.

Suddenly there are two conversations happening at once. Neither one stops for the other.

The rainbow ends with a candied vetiver. Soft, sweet, long. The finish has its own sweet afterlife.

It doesn't announce its departure.

Here's everything in the bottle, in order of prominence. Hardly anybody reveals this. They don't have to. We also have nothing to hide. If somebody wants to use this much orris butter, let them.

Maybe it's Foolish.

It isn't very feasible to have microbatches individually sample tested. However, according to the formula, we are within IFRA (amendment 51, category 4) compliance.
