Mood: Moonlight through chiffon curtains. The hum of a soft ritual, velvet shawls, and the scent of a witch’s pantry. It is effortlessly alluring and protective—the "safe" magic of a forest at midnight.

Family: Ethereal Incense / Floral Aromatic / Velvet Wood

🔝 Top — The Cleansing (the first spark of the candle)

• Incense smoke (light) → a transparent, wispy smoke note; cleansing rather than charred.
• Bitter Orange → a citrus bite that feels like an old-world apothecary.
• Cardamom → a cool, vibrating spice that adds immediate "mystery" to the air.

💖 Heart — The Ritual

• Night-blooming Jasmine → the "allure" — a heady, nocturnal floral that smells like a garden under a full moon.
• Dried Sage & Lavender → the "witchy pantry" — herbal, soothing, and deeply protective.
• Orris / Iris → the "velvet" — a powdery, tactile softness that mimics the feel of vintage lace.

🖤 Base — The Amulet

• Clean Patchouli → a smooth, woody version of the classic witchy note; no "dirt," just earth.
• Amber & Benzoin → the "safe" warmth — glowing, resinous, and deeply comforting.
• Sandalwood → a creamy, bone-dry wood that anchors the ethereal top notes.

🔮 Composition Logic

• Incense & Cardamom = the mystical atmosphere
• Jasmine & Orris = the feminine allure
• Patchouli & Amber = the grounded protection
