Birmingham, AL

Kenan’s family has roots firmly planted in the Deep South. In the late 1950’s, his grandmother left Birmingham, and headed west, eventually settling in Los Angeles. Half a century later, I would find myself, among the various fruit trees she’d planted in her backyard. Surrounded by a diversity of colors, flavors and aromas, my personal favorites were always the nectarines, the plums and the peaches. An ode to my Nana’s garden, a delicious, freshly-picked fruit basket, layered with earthy tones of musk, and sandalwood. 

Notes: plum, black cherry, peach nectar, musk, sandalwood
