CaramelLignum Vitae (2016) celebrates the 18th-century marine chronometer: wood, metal and salt in tribute to John Harrison's time machines. Madeleine-cake sweetness, citrus and pepper open it; lignum vitae wood, guaiac and vetiver form the heart; sand, sea salt, amber, moss and vanilla ground the base.
Lignum Vitae is the gourmand plot twist: warm shortbread and caramel edged with salt, steel and exotic woods -- like smelling freshly sawn ironwood in a watchmaker's workshop. Sweet but never soft. Beginners: the most wearable of the Come Hell or High Water set; gourmand with an edge.
