By the editors · 2 min readNeroli opens crisp and waxy, its honeyed orange-bloss edge sharpened by cardamom's cool, lemon-pepper crackle while bergamot supplies a brisk, metallic sparkle. The heart folds in myrrh's incense dust and dry cocoa nib, their matte bitterness riding cedar's pencil-shaving wood; clove stitches the accord with a slow-burn heat that keeps the cocoa from turning edible. Ambergris emerges late, lending a salt-skin glow that blurs the cedar and stretches the cocoa into a soft, grey-brown skin tint; styrax adds a leathery, slightly rubbery anchor. Projection stays polite, a one-arm-length aura that lingers six-to-eight hours, ideal for cool office days or gallery openings where incense and wood need quiet authority rather than statement.
