Field Notes · No. 01
The serums, the oils, the devices everyone's talking about — tried in the quiet of the morning studio. Only the ones that earned it are written down here.

Detail · the texture test
Studio · the proving ground
Chapter II · The test
Every formula gets weeks on my own skin before it earns a place here — used the way you actually would, not for a single hopeful afternoon. The first drop tells me something. The fourth week tells me the truth.
Chapter III · What passed
What's left is short, and it's honest — argan, rose, rhassoul clay, a thread of saffron. The few that did exactly what they promised, gathered on linen. Everything else got sent back.
