The morning stick · 25 minutes · bergamot, yuzu, mint.

The hardest part of any working day is the first clean start. First Ink is that starting line: strike a match, light one stick, and give the first 25 minutes of your day to one task before the inbox gets a vote.

The scent opens bright and citrus-forward — Italian bergamot and Japanese yuzu over a cool thread of mint. It smells like a desk by an open window at 8 a.m.: awake, clean, slightly optimistic. Nothing heavy, nothing ceremonial.
